Drew: I have the same Safeguard cage too, and I paid $60 for it. (I ordered it directly from Safeguard.) I use a fake vinyl on the top loft and second levels. On the bottom level, I use a scrap of linoleum to keep the food, water, and *litter box misses* from falling into the slide out tray underneath. All that *crap* would get mixed up and congeal into a huge mess! In addition, I took out the ladder/ramp between the second floor and the ramp. They didn't need it to get up there and it took up too much room in the cage. I haven't had time to post since last weekend so I wanted to let ya'll know that all the kids were vaccinated last Saturday and I had no problems. Thanks to everyone that sent me mail trying to calm my fears! Happy ferreting! Susie Casper (I like the vet's...he lets me trash his room!) Trixie (There's always mosquitos in his office though!) IVAN! (I pooped on his table!) Binky (He said I have an allergy!) PJ (Mom wouldn't let me see the Doc!) [Posted in FML issue 1515]
