Hi ! I just posted a couple days ago, but here I am again! I am currently in the process of making plans for a new cage.I think I know what I want it to be like but I need additional info & suggestionsI intend on making it huge. I want the front of the cage to be two doors that open up like a cabinet so I can clean it easily without all the stretching and reaching through those little doors. I will make sure that it locks up tight because if mine see a fourth a inch crack they think there is hope for escape & dig & dig. (they are only in there at night & sometimes when I'm working & my clients aren't my close friends- not real often though .) I want to use linoleum on the floors. I am going to buy a big storage bin & cut it( because it will be too tall ) to fit the bottom of the cage. I want plastic, not metal so I can take it out easily for cleaning. I would like to separate the cage down the middle w/ doors that I can keep open or close securely to separate them if I ever need to. I'm making this cage very big for any additional ferrets I might get, ( not soon, but I want to make this cage for the long run.) I plan on using a wood frame & I guess hardware cloth. I would like to make the floors a lightweight but sturdy wood that I can put linoleum on. And ramps of course out of between the levels. I have put together cages in the past that were safe & ferretproof- just not easy to clean at all! And now that I have 5 I feel that they need more room. their current cage is 5 ft tall by 2 ft square. -the new cage will be 5 ft tall by 4 ft wide by 2ft ( maybe 2 & a half ft) with wheels.

Are there any good websites with good cage ideas? I've looked & came up with very little. I need to get this cage done right the first time because after I put together the last cages I have always said, "I should have... it needs a... I wish it were easier to clean!" I want this cage to be spacious, comfortable,safe & easy to clean! Any advice will be appreciated!
