Where Jeep was ripping everything all to shreds in his cage including all the carpet on every floor in his cage I had to take some drastic action. Short of cutting his paws off instead I opted to remove the carpet on all but two floors. May to the other two at a later date but for now I have replaced the carpet with Plexiglas. For sure he will not be digging a hole thru that 3/8 inch thick glass. He seemed a little apprehensive about walking on clear see thru floors but he seems to be adjusting to that. I thought of painting the back side of the glass with black paint but was not sure if that would not peel off in time and didn't want him to ingest any. Not that the paint would be toxic but could make blockage so I left it as it came. For sure this will stop the digging and ripping of things in the cage. There isn't much left he can rip to shreds. But you can never put anything past a ferret so lets see what he comes up with this time. Aarrow-Ranch Aviation J.
