I am having to move into a really small space for a few months, or maybe a year. My two ferrets are, of course, coming with me. However, the space cannot be ferret-proofed, so they cannot be given free-roam time the way they're used to. Also, they have moved into a smaller cage. I'm adding tubes to the outside of the cage, and will change the configuration regularly (I'm thinking every few weeks, any thoughts?). I also plan to get something to put in the middle of the floor to let them out in for a few hours every day (can't rememer what it's called, but I'm thinking it's made by Marshall's). Any ideas on what I can put in it to give them extra mental and physical stimulation? Also, anything I might be able to put in their cage to help? Remember, I don't have storage for much, so things like a digging box aren't going to be something I can keep around. My friend has said when he makes a play area for his children, he'll let me have some of the sand before he uses it. :) I'm posting annonymously because I don't want to deal with flames. Remember, I'm trying to do the best I can for my babies. I could never give them up, so we all have to find a way to make the best of this new situation. DH [Posted in FML 7476]
