>As for the box springs, I finally gave up and ripped the fabric off the >underside of the box springs. Now they hold absolutely no appeal at all. what IS it with the foam in the box spring??? I didn't know anyone else had this problem. Every weekend we'd have to move the bed and vacuum up gallons of foam the ferrets had torn out. They also liked to hide stuff on the little ledges around the edge of the bottom of the box spring... After many frustrating months, we took action. First, we didn't have to tear the foam out (it was already all gone...) we thought if we could cover the bottom of the box spring with something slick, they wouldn't want to dig on it. So we got a huge roll of plastic heavy duty garbage bag material from OSH (I think it's for yards or something)- but stronger than a garbage bag- and staple gunned it across the bottom. It worked for about 1 hour. :-) After that we caught them crawling around between the plastic and the bottom of the box spring like it was their little attic or something. Then I hit upon an idea: chicken wire! (yes, I know this sounds extreme). I told my boyfriend (half jokingly) that he should staple some on the box spring- there was no way they'd dig on that. Well he took me up on my suggestion! Except the store didn't have the regular thin wire- he got this super strength heavy duty chicken wire you can't even bend. Stapled it on the bottom of the bed and voila! No more digging, no more foam. I don't know what the world has come to when you have to protect your indoor property from your own pets with chicken wire. But...desperate times call for desperate measures I guess.:D --Jaime Freddy ("God Mom, maybe I *liked* all that wax in my ears- you didn't have to go scraping it all out!"), Peanut ("I'm just pretending to be innocent and look cute so you'll give me a raisin"), Scooter ("if I just keep jumping I know I can get up there"), and Daisy ("I will head butt you until you pay attention to me") ===== Jaime [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 3144]
