I haven't posted on this site yet, but thought I would reply to Lisa's
post on opening cages.  I have a two+ year old male ferret (spaz) who
opens his own cage.  I have to tie it shut at night so he doesn't get
stepped on.  A boss of my husband's found Spaz in the woods and we took
him in (about 1 1/2 years ago).  He was never claimed through our paper
ad and I am very happy he wasn't.  He is a great ferret.  So, who knows
what he went through in the woods, but yes cage opening is possible-even
when the latch looks/feels sturdy.
