Hello, happy people! I've been told before that ferts could crawl into any space that's an inch or bigger, but I just didn't credit it. Today, however, I had to realize the truth when Chloe proved it to me! The "Ferret Room" is the den. It's the room I always let them play in, and the most ferret-proofed room in the house. At least, I thought it was! We have a TV in that room on a TV stand. Behind the TV is nothing but wires--naturally interesting to a ferret! The TV stand is about 1.5" off the ground--1" if you take the carpet into account. The back is blocked off on both sides. The two ferts usually devote a lot of time attempting to crawl behind there. Today, however, Chloe thought up a new tactic. She discovered that if she wriggled **under** the TV stand, she could gain access to the back. I happened to glance toward the TV and I saw the hind end of a ferret!! Boy, do I feel sheepish. For now, I've stuffed a box lid under the stand. But I know that won't hold them!! Any ideas? TTFN!!
