Baby Gates:
When we first moved into our apt. last April, I bought two baby gates to
keep the guys out of the bedrooms and kitchen. The effectiveness of the
suckers lasted about a month and that was only because George was only 2
months old. Now both my guys can leap over the gates in a single bound.
About the only good the gates have is to make enough noise that I can begin
my dash to catch the guys before they get into trouble. In fact, I think
that I have more trouble getting over those gates than the ferrets do.
Their favorite trick is as follows. On the few occations that I have to
take the guys to work with me, I put up the gate. The guys will hang around
the gate until the phone rings, and then they are off. They know that I
can't come and get them since I am now on the phone. So they have free run
to freak everyone out until I am done with the call and can do recon.
The best suggestion that I have heard is to get a piece of plexiglass
instead of a baby gate. If you get one about the height of a gate, you will
be able to get over it, but the ferrets will not be able to . t is just too
darn hard to put on the suction cups and scale the plexi.
Good luck!
