* A lot of things sold for ferrets can be made my oneself.  One of the things
* I would like to see is something like a habitrail (sp?) for hamsters but only
* bigger of the scale of ferrets.  I know one can put something together oneself
* out of various pieces of plumbing and tubing but I would like one made of
* transparent plastic so one can see the ferrets playing.  Just finding a source
* of clear large diameter tubing and joints would be enough for me.  The plastic
* pipes one tends to see in hardware stores is usually the stuff intended for
* handling sewage and is thus obviously not going to be transparent.
 
    My dad is a pipefitter and when a friend of mine first suggest
a giant clear habitrail, I told him about it. He and my uncle thought it
was a great idea and would have loved to build me one, but clear pipe
is practically impossible to obtain and is very expensive. I could ask
again when I go home for Thanksgiving. Maybe technology has changed
since I last asked. :) If it's possible, my dad might be willing to
make some to order for people in the Chicago area. :)
