Hi
 
I hope that you enjoy your trek down to Akron/Columbus.  For a travel cage,
I recommend having a custom cage made by Skip Martin of Martin's Critters
and Cages.  He'll build the cage to your specifications, and his prices
can't be beat.  I love the PVC coated wire; it is both durable and easy to
clean.  For more info., check out http://www.  martinscages.com.
 
When searching for hotels, check out http://www.travelweb.com.  You can
search for hotels that accept pets, and you can even make your reservations
on line.
 
Note: I don't work for either Skip or Travelweb, but I love both of their
services!

I wouldn't recommend it!  Prarie dogs are big time prey animals, the
primary prey of the Black Footed Ferret, in fact.  While our domestic
buddies aren't BFF's, I still think that there could be a serious
interaction problem, if you get my drift.  Even if the ferrets didn't
actively pursue the prarie dog, I think that the stress of proximity
would be a bit much for the prarie dog.
 
Happy Ferreting!
