Hello !
 
Thank you, Liz, for the info about Swedish pens.  Do you know how much
wire the woman with the picket pen used at the bottom?  Was it on the
surface or underneath?  Do you remember how far it extended into the pen?
 
I take it that the pickets were so smooth the ferrets couldn't climb up
them!  Is that right?  How high were they?
 
Do you think I can use wire to make the overhang around the inside of
the cage to keep the ferrets in?
