Hello, I am new to the FML. I have two wonderful babies: a 12 month sable named Kodo and a 9 month old sable named Podo. They are my life. And I wanted to write about the person who disagreed with ferrets in cages. Kodo and Podo live in a very nice three-story ferret condo, its the one with two ramps and two stairs. The babies spend a good deal of time in their cage... they get outside of it around three to four times a day for an hour each... They have tunnels and tshirts and toys to play with. When they are out and have free run of the aaprtment they know taht they can go back into their cage to use the litter box or to get some ferret kibble or anything that is there for them. They very rarely ever make a corner messy. It might be hard for ferrets that are caged all day without any humna contact but when they do get contact, a cage can be a good thing. Kodo and Podo know taht the cage is theirs, they may arrange it as they see fit, and they do. We keep it in our bedroom, where it is nice and cool... which is a good thing for ferrets in Florida. Well tahts what I wanted to say. Good night Margaret, Kodo & Podo Hastie [Posted in FML issue 1592]
