Originally, I was only sending this letter to Rachel, but I really love my
Martin's cage so much, I thought I would post this instead, in case other's
are looking into getting a new cage.  I really love mine!
 
Hi Rachel!
I have 5 ferrets and they live in one of Martin's cages.  It is a 4 story
cage, I believe it is called "the ferret hotel" and I LOVE IT!
 
I know that they do too!  I know I paid just under $200 for it last year at
a local ferret show (Martin's tends to bring his cages to these kinds of
events and that way you would save on shipping and it would already be
constructed) .  My ferret friends also have 3 martin's cages and they love
them as well - they have 16 ferrets!
 
It is a huge cage with tons of places to hang hammocks and place different
things for them to play with and cuddle with.
 
It is all constructed of wire.  The two main floors (1st floor and 3rd
floor) are all wire.  You have to cover that yourself with towels or
linoleum or carpet, whatever you normally use.  There are 2 pull out trays
under the bottom floor for litter spills that they make and accidents and
other things that ferrets are messy with (*smile*).
 
The mini-levels, in my cage, there are 2 mini levels.  On the 2nd and 4th
level, where they only go across about 1/2 way on both sides, they seem
more like shelves to me.  They come carpeted.  My guys all love climbing
all over this cage.  If you are going to end up with more than 2, this is a
great cage to grow with.  We had 2 when we got the cage and of course, kept
falling in love....if you already have one, I am sure you understand!  It
is crafted very well - the pics do not do it justice.  My cage is black,
but I know it comes in green and silver as well.  I have seen my exact cage
in ferret mags and it looks cheap, but it isn't.  The wire is nice and
thick and it isnt wobbly at all.  I am very happy with it and if I needed
another cage (which I doubt I ever will), I would definetly go through
Martin's.
 
Any other questions, feel free to ask!
