The perfect, inexpensive ferret gate: Go to Home Depot, or most any hardware store, and buy a sheet of plain, precut plexiglass. I use the 28" x 30" x 1/8" (cost $9.98) I bend it slightly, place it in the door frame, and the pressure of the plexi itself keeps it in place. ( Place the curve towards the room the ferrets occupy. ) I can step over it easily, but it is too high for the ferrets to get over. ( You must keep tall objects away from the gate, however! ) You can even purchase trim for the top so it looks nice. Just measure your doorway(s) and buy the size slightly longer than your door is wide. If you get a good fit, you won't even have to remove it to let the ferrets thru, just slide it up and it will stay in place. ( I put an object underneath to prevent it sliding down...just in case. ) One of the great joys of my life is lifting the gate to my kids' bedroom each morning, and watching the furry flood pour forth! For a more decorative touch, try the plexi sheets sold to cover flourescent light fixtures. These are generally 4' long, so will have to be cut to size, but they are available in a variety of patterns and styles. Dooks!

I'm not saying that regular Plexiglass will or will not work, but there is a BIG difference between those two materials. BIG] [Posted in FML issue 3984]
