The site for Midwest Ferret Cage website is http://www.midwesthomes4pets.com/Breeds/ferret(1).htm I personally don't like this type cage. Shelves are too slick for older ferrets. Must be disassembled from base for cleaning. Taller models present a problem with graceless ferrets falling too far... Takes a lot of accessorizing to make them safe and comfortable... Then you've got to lift all that up to clean the base. For a short cage, it's not too bad, but with a tall one, it's a hassle. A better designed (in my opinion) ferret cage of this type is Martin's cages http://www.martinscages.com/ferret.htm On neutering hobs, I've been told that ferrets are prone to develop testicular cancer if not neutered, but you might want to field more than just my input on that. However, I did have a rescue that was neutered at age 7 1/2... at 9 years old an impacted anal sac surgery turned up a malignant growth in that area anyway. The other reasons are "cosmetic". Many whole males are nippy and aggressive. Neutering usually cures that (been threatening to take my husband to the vet for this... needs adrenal surgery, too, I'm sure... hair falling out, scratches all the time, lol). Neutering reduces the whole male odor, though it takes 6 weeks or so for all the hormones that cause the odor to flush out. And, lastly, they lose the "yellow" tinge to their fur caused by the oil secretions and grooming with urine. == Debi Christy Ferrets First Foster Home http://www.geocities.com/ferretsfirst/ [Posted in FML issue 3593]
