Then we have to admit we have met one of the poofy ones... Sorry we'd
forgotten which they were. Easel's a pretty nifty ferret too. We would
never accuse you of doing anything un-necessary to harm your ferrets but you
knew that. Sometimes you have to do things you don't really want to.

This falling or crawling and getting stuck between heavy objects and walls
is all too common. We've known it to happen with other brands of cages and
sewing machines for example. Consider yourself fortunate for finding your
jill in time.
