6. About this Information Packet
Where to get more information
The full Ferret Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), from which this
"mini-FAQ" was derived, is available on the Internet on the rec.pets
and alt.pets.ferrets newsgroups and at various archives via WWW, FTP, email and
gopher. On the WWW, you can find the FAQ, disease-specific Ferret Medical FAQs,
and lots more ferret information at Ferret Central at http://www.ferretcentral.org/.
You can also contact me, Pamela Greene, by email at <pamg@rice.edu>,
and I'll be glad to send you copies of the FAQs or answer any other questions
you have.
Your local ferret club or rescue shelter should also be able to provide you
with any information you need, and there are several excellent books about pet
ferrets.

Many thanks to the readers of the electronic Ferret Mailing List and the Usenet
newsgroup rec.pets who contributed responses, comments, and corrections, and
special thanks to Bruce Williams, Susan Brown, and the other list vets for their
efforts on behalf of all "ferret friends". Last but not least, thanks
to Pixxel and Rusty, my ferrets-in-residence, for numerous helpful discussions,
and to Bob, for being there - and changing the litter pans.
