Hi While I'm not one to usually jump into the fray, I just can't resist commenting on the Modern Ferret/Ferrets issue since I am one of the few minority voices (or at least one of the few who is willing to speak up). Personally, I subscribe to both magazines, and I intend to continue subscribing to both. If you can afford to do so, I urge you to do the same. After all, any educated person will seek out as many sources of information as possible- it's never good to rely only on one reference. Modern Ferret and Ferrets magazines each have their own strengths and weaknesses. Modern Ferret strengths: Produced by ferret owners, friendly/personalized format Modern Ferret weaknesses: Contains a bit too much "fluff" for my tastes (e.g. full page gag photos, extensive personal information about the publishers) Ferrets strengths: Predominantly information-related articles, professional (polished) format, wide distribution and regular publishing dates Ferrets weaknesses: Aformentioned problems with publishing California ferret owner's names/addresses Unlike many folks, I do not feel that Ferrets magazine contains any more informational errors than does Modern Ferret. Yes, Ferrets made the one, serious mistake regarding the medicine dosage. That error should not have been made by the article's author, and/or it should have been caught by the editing team. At the very least, they should have published a prominent correction in the next issue. However, I have seen photos and/or information in Modern Ferret that have made me cringe as well. One example- the photo of a ferret trying to get in to a toilet springs immediately to mind. That photo (published in Pink Noses) was printed with no warnings or comments regarding the danger of that situation. In another edition, I recall seeing photos from a ferretry where ferret excrement was literally piled beneath the breeding cages. One final comment- to both magazines- please be sure that ferrets appearing in photographs are well-groomed. It drives me absolutely nuts to see photos of otherwise beautiful ferrets with horridly long nails! Happy Ferreting!

As the Prince of Weasels, I would sneak up behind people and bite them. Then they would turn around and say, "What the... Oh, it's just you, the Prince of Weasels." ...Jack Handey [Posted in FML issue 2641]
