Hi, I have posted on the FHL about wheels I made for my little cripple ferret and have been asked to post to the FML as well, so here goes. I had a boy with no use in his front legs so made him a buggy to help him get around. The first one I made, dubbed the green machine, for obvious reasons, it was green. Was made from an overturned plastic basket with the two ends cut out to make room for head and rear and casters screwed on each corner and a hammock hung in this at a suitable height with padded velcro fasteners to go around the neck and two over the body. The hammock supported his weight without pressure and could be lifted up or lowered to suit. I then tried a different model kinda like a scat board on casters, but it was too high and narrow and he kept toppling over. So I made it wider and wider until he had stability at the sides then he kept tipping onto his nose so had to make it longer in the front. But after all the times the poor boy was strapped in and out of this one and maybe because of the pressure of being strapped onto this one, he hated it and would tuck his back legs up as far as they would go and not budge.So, I tried to improve on the green machine. This one, called the mouhou because it was made from a mouse house or should I say, a domes cage. So the set-up is the domed part of the cage minus the front, back and bottom (thank you Sukie) :o) , and cut shorter as needed. I then used the sheepskin hammock out of the green machine but attached it into the frame with dog clips for ease of getting in and out. That way I could strap Chimba in the hammock and then attach him into the frame. Less stress on us both. The only problem I had with all these designs was that not having the use of his front legs Chimba could not steer himself as a ferret with back leg paralyses would be able to so I attached a lead to the front and used to steer him myself. To see pictures of these simple and reasonably priced contraptions please go to The Ferret Health List and look for the same date as this FML post or failing that email me personally and I will send you the pix. (I hope this all meets with your approval BIG) [Sure, it's fine. BIG] Thanking you kindly, Colleen Burke. [Posted in FML issue 3491]
