- Don't let your ferret see the camera, especially if it's on a low tripod. ("Oh! Whatcha doing? *nose on lens!*) - Don't even BOTHER to try and get the ferrets in one area. - Be sure to drug your ferrets with excessive raisins, or bribe them with treats. Take quick pictures as they run from the camera to hide them. - Get your ferrets while they're sleeping. This offeres 5 seconds of wonderful footage before they awake. - Cage bars can be camoflaged with vines or ribbons to make it look like you don't HAVE to keep them in the cage to get good shots. - Don't take your ferret to a professional. They generally EXPECT you to pay for things like stolen film and tipped cameras. - Carry your camera around constantly, to get wonderful in action shots. It's great training for National Geographic assignments. Mel! [Posted in FML issue 2469]
