Well, about two weeks ago I put my oragami skills to work on a large piece
of currogated cardboard. I folded it up in a square tube shape (you know
how hard it is to fold cardboard into a circle??) and cut it in the middle
to fold it at a 90 degree angle. (let me draw: )

From the top, the cut in the middle (at 45 degree angles to the sides) will
fold into a nice corner of 90 degrees or so (give or take what you messed up
on when you measured the 45 degrees :)
So anyway, I have made myself a neat-o tunnel, large enough for my rug rat to
fit in (many cardboard tubes I have found don't fit her) and with a corner to
fall in love with. She crawls in there and sleeps, eats, plays, hides, what-
ever a ferret loves to do. I plan on making another one soon.
Right now I have it under the top and side of my waterbed. It's really neat
to hear her at night snoring right along with me... :) (no, she isn't very
loud -- I remember the few questions about ferrets with loud snores)
Now another "does-your-ferret-do-what-MY-ferret-does?" question:
Anyone found their pet with paintbrushes? I have a brand new, unwrapped
paintbrush that Daphne insists on hiding all the time. She also snagged
some little kleenex packets -- the personal, pocket-sized ones.
Weird.
