Hi, fellow ferret lovers! My SO has posted to this list before, but he has just now taught me how to so here I am! You guys who post here are just great! I really enjoy the FML! Perfect timing for all the recent postings concerning cages as the Income Tax check should be here soon & I'm trying to talk my SO into getting a cage with multiple levels. His concern is do the ferrets who already have multiple levels use those multiple levels?! Thanks in advance to anyone who may respond. In response to Drew and Daralyn on what to line the cage with to keep footsies from going through, I have found that "dog mats" work perfectly! They are sold in pet stores, are relatively cheap, come in different sizes, and are machine washable. Too they are soft and do not have a rubber backing. I have to stay away from rubber backings because Jasmine loves to eat the rubber! I feed her & the others good food & they get treats, but Jamine will eat rubber backings if she gets the chance!
