I posted this way back but since someone asked.... The best of my ferret pictures have come when I put the three of them on top of their 4 story cage. They all look right at me "Hey Mom, get us down!" Its been the only way for me to get one photo with the all of them. I used it for our Christmas card but I put a sled on top of the cage too. I'm not sure if this can work for those of you with large groups ;-) (FYI: they can all climb down on their own but they usually wait for the ferret elevator (me) to come get them when the photo shoot is over! I also think that one of the Ferret magazines had articles with tips on ferret photography within the last year. Happy Snapping!
