Hello everyone.
 
I am a brand-new ferret mom.  I've been wanting to adopt for several months
now, and have been reading up as much as possible on the little fuzzbutts.
 
Just a few days ago, Someone smiled on me and gave me the opportunity to
rescue a little male sable from a bad situation.  (He was being kept in a
GARAGE!!!!)  I bought him, cage and etc.  and all, and took him away from
there.  He's such a little sweetheart, too.  Very gentle and loving, never
even once offered to nip or even nibble, on the entire 6-hour journey to
get him safe.
 
I am going to adopt a litttle female to keep him company.  They are both
currently in a ferret shelter because I can't keep them in my current home,
but I'm moving soon and then we'll be together!  The female, Onyx, and
Grover are being caged together on a trial basis to see how they get along,
and so far, it seems to be love at first sight!  (Yes, they're both fixed.)
Onyx is a 10mo old sable and Grover is 1-1.5 years.
 
Does anyone have any tips on how to protect sharp edges of metal mesh
(actually, it's sections of heavy-duty closet organizer wire)?  I want to
add a few shelves to the cage and have some good material for it, but I
don't want them to go cutting themselves.  I've heard people talk about
duct tape/etc, but can't they pull that off?
