To L. Detweiler, After several unsuccessful and inconvenient attempts to keep the ferrets out of the kitchen, we found a not very attractive but convenient and effective solution. We use tape to cover the space between the kitchen and the kitchen floor (so they can't crawl under the fridge) and various nooks we don't want them to crawl into. For bigger spaces (like between the refridgerator and stove) we put chicken wire covered with a sheet of aluminum foil (just bend a large enough piece in the area - pressure keeps it in place and it is easily removable). As I said, not a very beautiful solution, but it sure beats tripping over cardboard. -Cindy [Posted in FML issue 0847]
