Alright, I just had to write in with my proud accomplishment! I was getting bored with the ferret cage, as were the ferrets, I'm sure, so I decided to spice it up! My furries sleep in a tall, collapsable cage with a linoleum bottom on rollers - I guess its advertised as a kitten cage. It comes with two carpet-covered stairs that hook onto the sides so that the heights can be changed. SO, I bought an itty-bitty grommet kit at the hardware store for about $4 - grommets are those little metal rings that reinforce fabric, like on sneakers for the laces. I grabbed some of my old towels that were on their way to cleaning rag status and put a grommet in each corner. Then, using those little individual binder rings from Staples, I put in strips of towel at varying levels. They overlap so the furries can climb up and up and up and back down again. Well, they LOVE them! The towels are soft and easy to sleep in (and cave a little just like a hammock) plus they love to climb up the maze of towel strips (each strip is about 6-8 inches wide. Best of all, the binder rings make them easy to remove, wash, and move around - what fun! For anyone looking for a new idea to spice up the fuzzy abodes, try it! Hugs and raisins to all...
