Thanks to everyone who e-mailed me privately & through the FML when I asked if ferrets use the extra levels in the multi-level cages. My husband & I finally bought a 2 story cage. Aaron spent a lot of time carpeting the new cage & attaching it to our existing cages. We now have 3 cages hooked together. It looks way cool! They have enough room to raise all kinds of heck! They don't seem to be using the 2nd story yet. Aaron puts them up there all the time, but I guess right now they're not used to it or something. Yesterday he added a ramp that leads to a ledge so they have 2 different options of how to get to & down from the 2nd level. Later we bought a new food bowl that seems to working well. We had been using a regular old cat dish. The ferrets drug that darn thing all over the kitchen, making a tremendous mess! This new contraption is actually 2 different dishes locked to a tray. At least when they push it, the water flows into the tray rather than onto my floor! Aaron is thinking of velcro-ing the dish to the microwave stand so they can't even push it - wouldn't they be ticked off?! Hee-hee! We bought it at Superpetz (not sure if they are national). Take care all! Tracy & the girls- Pinky, Jasmine, Shadow, & Bear [Posted in FML issue 1553]
