I'm sorry to be so late responding to the discussion regarding the Ferret Nation cage problems (health issues have kept me away from the PC), but I just wanted to mention that I have two cages, and this is what I did: When I purchased the first cage, I saw the possibility of serious injuries, so before I put it into use I removed the inner shelves and purchased 1/4" hardware cloth (looks like fencing/screening) and clips, and made floors, with openings and attached ramps. I then covered the wire flooring with cut pieces of carpeting, and placed soft blankets and hammies in there for their comfort, and this worked well. However, the second time around, I couldn't find clips, but someone told me about a product called "Fuzzy Floors" made by Karen Young. So, I contacted her and got a couple - they are fabulous - they come in a variety of models, colors and sizes, but essentially they cover the whole area, and have heavy loops that extend out between the bars, and clear Lucite poles that slide through the strapping to hold them snug and tight. No way for a fuzzy to get a head or paw stuck, or slip through - and way comfortable, like a giant hammie. And I can remove them for laundering as often as I want. They are the perfect solution. I don't know if it is OK to mention contact info in this forum, so if anyone is interested, e-mail me and I will send you contact info. [Posted in FML 6301]
