Since I'm one of those rehabbers, I'll respond: I've got to agree that
great care must be taken so that more harm isn't done by overinflating or
even exploding the little lungs. I've done CPR on a baby squirrel (not
successful) and a fox (successful, but the animal died for unrelated
reasons). Fortunately, I've never had to perform CPR on anything else.

Thank you for finding this!! I've been looking for a ferret-specific
formula! There are some wild animals that can use this too!

I bought a FABULOUS cage in May (when I acquired my second ferret). There
is a built-in litter box that is quite large (12 X 24 inches). When my
ferrets first saw it, they acted like people who are looking at a new home
and walk into a deluxe bathroom! I get almost a 100% hit rate with that
box and it is on the bottom of a four level cage. Following is all the
information you need if you want one of these cages (WELL WORTH IT!!). I
can send you a .jpg if you'd like to see it. Eventually, I will be hosting
a web site and selling his cages myself. Part of the cost will benefit
wildlife rehab centers and possibly ferret shelters.
The cage came from:
Corner Creek Acres
Gregory J. Barinsky
1603 S. Milner
Ottumwa, IA 52501
515-684-7122
(All he wrote down for me on his business card were the dimensions and
price.) The cage is 24W X 36L X 48H. It has 24 X 24 inches of "floor", and
12 X 24 inches of litter box (comes with the cage) on the bottom level.
Next level is an 18 X 24 inch shelf. Next level is 24 X 36 inch floor.
Top level is another 18 X 24 inch shelf. There are 2 doors for cleaning
and removing ferrets and their stuff. There is another door by the litter
box to remove it for easy cleaning. There is also a metal tray under the
24 X 24 section of floor, and 3 ramps to get to all the levels. It costs
$115, plus $25 shipping (to Michigan). If you'd like to see a picture of
it, let me know. I have one scanned.
Please mention my name if you order one since he is making a donation to my
wildlife rehab center for each referral I send to him.
