Got the Modern Ferret #25 (Nov/Dec). As usual there are some hilarious things in there, and if you look at the Pink Noses page you'll find that an FML member's ferret is as pretty as claimed (Nope, not telling you who -- so there! Even I can be silly at times.) I WANT that item that Ferretware shows off in a full page. For you I wanted to be sure to tell you about these things which I think can be useful: holiday safety tips (with the last one being my personal favorite -- and don't forget to find out ahead of time who covers in case your vet goes away!!!!!), loads of recipes for safe homemade treats for your ferrets so that you won't have to feed them your own unhealthy ones, information on NYC, an article about what is like to change the minds of a radio station's personalities by bringing in your ferrets to hug them by Rene Chartier, a piece by Melanie Hawkins on Ferrets across America -- a very special service which started here and helps so many North American ferret people, Bob's info on ferret bones (something someone on the FML asked about again in recent months) and another by him on ferret energetics, a checklist for new owners, several pages about angora ferrets, and assorted silliness which is your own safe holiday treat. Bon appetit! Sukie (who sometimes puts what she finds useful in publications so that people will know to look for given articles, and is now looking forward to the next issue of AFR) [Posted in FML issue 2848]
