Our ferret barriers come up to only about her knees. (Colleen has a 41" inseam, and stands over 6'6") http://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/200807/one_small_step.asp and http://www.6footsix.com/ Colleen had never been around ferrets before but she just went right over the barrier and laid down the on floor with them. That was in the Fall before she headed out west so we didn't have Pivot yet, but the others immediately fell in love with her, not just the rat terrier scent on her from her two dogs, Daisy Mae and Zula. Now, if only we had legs like hers the ferret barriers wouldn't be tripping us regularly! This year when things settle down a bit more we will be having some doors replaced with Dutch Doors and also have guides put in for the regular barriers, so we'll have a double solution to prevent ferrets climbing over that will allow us to watch them when we are not in the rooms. So many things got postponed due to human health problems so we are playing "catch-up" now.
