Hi all, I've found a good, and most importantly cheap way to save the real carpet when all else fails. I was walking by a carpet store an the way to work one day and as it turned out they we're selling like three pallets worth of carpet samples for 5 for a $1 for ones that were like 1'x2' sections and ones that are welcome mat size for only 75 cents. So I bought a few and put them in those places were the ferrets like to big and/or use the carpet for the litter box. It works great and since most of them are pretty high quality carpet samples they have stain guard and available in lots of colors. Oh and as an added bonus I was able to get the guy to give me on of their carpet tubes too! Well the ferrets love the tubes and I love saving the carpet. So call some of your local carpet stores and see if they're getting rid of last years carpet! Ferrets, well mine at least don't seem to mind being out of style! ;-) Matthew and ferret fuzzies, Peanut and Bijoux [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 1682]
