first, the bowl thing:
Justin was a really big bowl digger.  Nothing would break him of the habit
of digging in and then overturning his food bowl.  What I finally had to
do was drill a small hole in the bottom of the bowl(its plastic) and also
through the vinyl tile under it, and attatch the bowl to the floor with a
bolt and wing nut.  The cost was less than a dollar for the entire thing.
Just unscrew the nut to get the bolt out.
 
about the urn/box thing:
Im so sorry to hear about the loss of any ferret.  Ive been there, and its
no fun.  One of the things I do for a living is paint custom boxes of
various sizes.  If anyone that has lost a pet is interested, I'd be more
than happy to paint a box in any colours for just the cost of the box
itself and the shipping.  Examples of my work can be seen at
http://www.bronxelf.com/work.html .  Not looking to make *any* money on
this.  Just thought it might be nicer than a generic thing, and certainly
less expensive than an urn.
 
anyone interested, please feel free to contact me directly.
 
sorry for your loss,
elf.
