Hi all,
 
Well, we've got a predicament, nothing I'm sure that can't be solved.  Here
goes:
 
My hubby recently left for the police academy for a 3 month stint 600 miles
away.  While he is gone, it is up to me to keep the ferts chins up.  (One
seems to get depressed when his daddy leaves, and the other just says, "I
can handle it!")
 
We will be meeting on several weekends out of town and staying in a motel.
We have a homemade play pen for the ferts when we travel, however, it is
too big for any of the cars I will be driving.  While we take them in their
big carrier in the car, we would like them to have a little more playing
room when at the motel.  We'd like it to be something for them to sleep in
or be in when unsupervised.
 
We have seen some play pens for dogs, however, the wire holes are too large
and could easily trap a ferret.  We are looking at something about 4-5 feet
wide and can contain one of the larger dog carriers as that is where the
hammock will be (3-4 feet high or so with a possible lid).  It must be
compact/collapsible to fit in a small car and safe enough for the ferts not
to crawl through or get pinched.
 
I know this is asking a lot, but does anyone have any ideas or play pen
products they know of?  We would appreciate any suggestions on this one!
 
Thanks and Keep on Dooking-
 
Melissa & Brett, Jasper & Teeka
