        I got Otis about a year ago from the pet shop in the Monmouth Mall. 
I can't remember exactly how much, but around 90$ which included altering,
descenting, and a round of shots. He was from a breeder in N.Y. who has
a book out you may have seen (name is Wendy Winsted, I think). I don't 
know if this shop still carries ferrets but you could call. 
       If you live reasonably close to Eatontown (i.e.,within a half-hour's
drive or so) would you be interested in a reciprocal ferret-sitting arrange-
ment sometime? Occasionally I go out of town for a week or so, and while I
can leave enough food & water for the weasels to last this long, I would 
still feel better is they were looked in on every 4 days or so. Let me
know if it would be worth your while.

    P.S. The name of the pet shop is Puppy Love, tho when I go Otis I
recall it was named The Alley Cat, or some such.
