I have a Midwest 3 story ferrety fuzzies LOVE it.  They have a hammock, a
hanging tube (the soft kind) some toys and the usual litter box, food dish
and wather bottle.  The problem we seem to keep having is that both my
babies sleep on the 3rd level and have a nasty tendency to roll over and
fall off while they are sleeping.  They usually land (I have put a bunch of
towels and shirts for their soft landing) yawn and go back to sleep.  No
one has been hurt, but I am worried that if this keeps happening, odds are
there is going to be an injury eventually.  Does anyone know where I can
purchase additional "shelves" for this Midwest monster or any other
suggestions on how I can keep 'em from falling?
 
Also, my Little Bean loves to dig in her food dish and litter box, I have
read that some folks provide their fuzzies with a box of sand for them to
dig in while they're out of their cage.  Does this alleviate the urge to
dig inside?  For those of you that have Midwest cages, you know that they
snap into a plastic base (no removeable pan) and we are having a problem
with the food and litter pellets getting in the sides (where the cage snaps
in) and it is very difficult to keep clean.  Has anyone devised a way to
keep junk from getting down there?  Living in New York City, although I
haven't had any previous problems, I am worried about bugs being attracted
to the food caught in the side of the cage.
 
Thanks in advance for your help!

Bean - "but mommy, i wanna see this China you keep talking about"
Daggett - *yawn* "why are you looking at me like that? wait...how'd I
get down here?"
 
P.S. Deos anyone know if there are any ferret groups or shelters that
need help in New York City or Brooklyn?
