Praise for
The Wit and
Wisdom of the
Modern
Ferrets:
The
Wit and
Wisdom...
is, in my
opinion, one
of the MOST
insightful
books on
ferret care.
Not only do
you get the
basics on
how to, but
you benefit
by
understanding
the creative
thinking
energy of
the ferret —
you can
anticipate
actions in
day-to-day
living. I
recommend
that folks
new to
ferret
owning or
those
considering
ferret
ownership
read this
book first!
I would have
loved to
have this
resource
when I first
became owned
by a
ferret."

Extremely
informative

funny at the
same time. A

About the
Modern
Ferrets:
 |
Sabrina
Column:
Sabrina
Says
Sabrina
was Mary
and Eric's
first
ferret. It
was her
wonderful
nature
that
encouraged
Mary and
Eric to
get more
ferrets -
which
eventually
inspired
them to
create
Modern
Ferret
Magazine.
Sabrina
wrote her
columns
about the
basic
aspects of
ferret
care. |
Marshmallow
Column:
Marshmallow
Explains
It All
Although
he wasn't
the
brightest
ferret in
the world
in real
life, when
Marshmallow
donned his
"smartee"
glasses,
he became
a witty
columnist
reporting
on the
finer
aspects of
ferret
thought
and
culture. |

 |
Knuks
Column:
Knuks
Makes
Mischief
Weighing
in at
under a
pound,
Knuks
definitely
packed a
lot of
mischief
into her
tiny body.
Being an
itty-bitty,
dark-eyed
white, she
looked a
lot like
one of the
characters
from
Mad
Magazine's
Spy Vs.
Spy.
Knuks
liked to
tell other
ferrets
how to
cause
mischief.
Mary and
Eric often
included a
follow-up
on how to
prevent
such
mischief. |
Trixie
Column:
Trixie's
Tips
Trixie
liked to
keep
things
short and
to the
point. A
very pale
cinnamon
girl, she
liked to
stick her
nose into
everything
(just for
a
moment!).
Her quick
and easy
tips are
sometimes
just the
thing you
need. |
 |
 |
Gabrielle
Column:
Dear
Gabby
Although
Gabrielle
was the
youngest
of the
Modern
Ferrets,
when she
wrote her
Dear
Gabby
column,
she was
filled
with
wisdom
beyond her
years.
When she
was not busy writing, she spent
her time
bouncing
off the
walls and
driving
the other
ferrets
crazy by
leaping
over them
so that
they couldn't
catch
her. |
