Specifically the three or four story ones. I was wondering if >any of you have one of these and whether they're okay for ferrets. Skip Martin is very good about custom making cages. We have two -- a 3 story one and a 2 story one for travel that was custom made to *just* fit in our car. Both, by my insistance, have floors that go across the whole width and length of the cage (except for a small hole for the ramp to the next floor) rather than the more usual open design that wastes volume and makes me worry whether a ferret will hurt itself by falling. I consider the price of both cages to be excellent for what we got. >I'm not sure if the floors are wire or not (I was looking online, and the >pictures aren't very clear), and if they are, we could always put something >down over them since wire floors aren't very good for the little cuties. >We're also on a tight budget, so we unfortunately can't get one of those >fancy big ones that we'd like. The floors of our cages are galvanized wire. Plastic covered wire is also available. I covered the floors by buying some cheap outdoor carpet at a hardware store and cutting pieces of the carpet to size. -- Bill Sebok with Buttercup, Bridgett, Bonnie and Charlie (ferrets) and Patrick(dog) in loving memory of Ben, Jerry, and Jasmine (ferrets) and Lupi (dog) [Posted in FML issue 2963]
