Hi all, I have been reading the list for awhile not but haven't posted before. We are in VA and have 8 ferrets at this time. We also have one of those red balls that the fuzzies ignored from the day I brought it home. Now we use it to contect 2 pieces of the plastic irrigation tubing from Lowes and it has started a new life! They dart in and out of it while chasing each other through the tubes and when they are tired, up to 5 of them can curl up and sleep in it. Sometimes, someones rear will be hanging out, but they obviously don't care! When it is time to round up the guys for the night, we can always count on finding at least 3 of them in it!
