Hi Everyone, Hugs to all with sick or rainbow sliders. A week and a half ago I got my first 2 foster kids. They came with a super pet cage and not much else. Because of the smell everything has been sitting out in my yard. Today the air is nice and crisp and I thought maybe everything wouldn't smell so bad and I decided to clean it all. Boy was I wrong. I put the outside of the cage together and brought all the shelves and the bottom pan in to the bathtub to scrub it all. It took me over 2 hours. Do you know what the cage and shelves were coated with? Nicotine! So much of it that I could have scraped it off with a putty knife. These poor guys were living in that cage for over 3 years and I don't think it was ever cleaned. I wonder what kind of health problems that will create for them later on. Now I have a problem I wonder if anyone can help me out with. After I cleaned everything and put it all together I discovered that the bubbles that allow them to go from level to level are missing. I called and asked and they are gone. Does anyone out in FML Land have any that they are not using? I will trade a ferret size afghan for each bubble. Please write and let me know. Thanks, Diddy [Posted in FML issue 3943]
