Well, my birthday present came home yesterday! I drive a new Taurus Wagon and the dang cage barely fit on the top, when I pulled into the driveway and Jim came out, he actually let out this weird little noise, I thought he was gonna have a heart attack or faint on me!! I told him it would be large, but I don't think he was quite prepared. He takes all this kinda stuff really well though. It is actually a little taller than I thought. I am 5'7 and the top of roof peaks are just about exactly the same height as me (yep, Jim made me do the height test thing)!!! I set the cage up last night with new homemade hammies that I purchased from Aprille just for this special occassion!!! Jim and Tor went upstairs to leave me in 'ferret heaven' as they said. Worse than a kid on Xmas morning!! The guys loved it, they tore through cage several times, actually preferring to investigate the cage instead of running around! The cage is wonderful, I am so happy with the construction, space and appearance. If anyone is considering a new cage, Martin's are a fantastic value, excellent workmanship. They do ship, but my cage was custom designed and a bit too large!! Skip and Diana are also wonderful people to deal with, very nice, friendly and completely understanding about how particular we can be for our babies' home!! Hugs to all, Jen and Gang [Posted in FML issue 2959]
