Re: Coco and the (gross) travelling problem.
 
I have a small travel case, and I have converted a kleenex
box into a litter box.  I have a large male and 2 females and
they will all use it.  I cut off the top of the kleenex box
(this is one where kleenexes come out of the top not the top
and side).  I also needed to support it better so it wouldn't
be tipped over, so I glued a piece of cardboard on the bottom
extended outward - that probably doesn't make sense.  You have
this kleenex box that is in the cage - let me see if I can
draw a diagram...

It works great for me.  I put a plastic bag over it, rubber band it
around the kleenex box and fill it with litter.
 
Good luck!
 
Also, I got some clear plastic tubing for my kids.  They love it!
Its fun for me too!  I got it at a plastics distributor (see Plastics
in the Yellow Pages).  Look for the cheapest, lowest quality (this
stuff is expensive).  I would say 3-4" diameter (3" for extra small
female ferrets and 4" for large male ferrets).

Some of these abbreviations seem to be more common in some groups than
others, on misc.kids we use a lot of YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary),
IMHO (In My Humble Opinion), and IMNSHO (In My Not So Humble Opinion).
