Another Great Escape :-) When my husband and I moved into a new apartment we decided to keep our two ferrets, Swamp and Nuke in the kitchen. We bought a door-gate like the one used for little children and put it in the doorway between the kitchen and living- room. It worked just fine until we adopted mischevious Mythril. Being such an athlete she kept climbing the gate and escaping from the kitchen. Both of us tried tons of modifications to the gate trying to prevent her escape but with less than two ounces of brains she defeated us at every turn. One day, when my husband came home he found that our living room was covered with one single strand of toilet paper. Apparently Mythril escaped and started playing with the toilet paper in the bathroom. When her toenail became caught in the toilet paper she made a wondrous discovery! "Hey, the more you pull, the more this white thing will follow you!" So, she pulled the toilet paper from the bathroom through box-tunnel around an armchair, around the coffee table and then went back into the tunnel. After this episode (and about 12 more modifications to the gate :-) we were able to lock our gymnastic little girl in the kitchen. We finally had to attach a four foot tall cardboard box to the inside of the gate so that she couldn't get a claw-hold and climb out (I wish my biceps were that strong!).
