Hi there. Since this is my first post on the FML, I thought that I'd introduce myself before I jump in with my questions. My name is Lori and my boyfriend and I have to perfect and spoiled (aren't they all?) sables named Katie and Kaylin. They're about 14 months old now. I have just moved to the Minneapolis, MN area and had one heck of a time finding an apt that would take ferrets. A few places would accept dogs and cats, but NOT ferrets. Are there any other proud ferret owners in the Mnpls/St Paul area? I'd like to hear from you. Also I'm wondering if anyone could recommend a good vet for my babies (We live in New Hope, but I don't mind driving, I guess). I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on our "dilemna". We would love to buy our spoiled brats a mutli-level cage, but our lack of money will not allow for this to happen anytime soon. We were thinking of "building" levels into their existing cage (36"L X 19"W X 21"H). We were thinking of using chicken wire for this, but I would welcome any suggestions from anyone, as I am not much of a "handyman" when it comes to construction. Feel free to email me at either the above address or at: nisja@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu....Or you can answer in the FML as I am now *only* four days behind ...earlier today I was 11 days behind, so I've made some progress :-). Thanks in advance and keep up the good work with the fuzzies.
