You might want to take a look at the Ferret Products page at http://www2.portal.ca/~cmc/ferrets/info/products.htm This is a page which links to all kinds of companies which sell ferret things. You might check out the on-line catalogs belonging to some of those companies, as several of them are likely to sell cages. There's even a link to a company which *just* makes cages, and will ship. Please note that I have no affiliation with any of these companies. All I did was to put the information in one place. >Also, what should I put on the floor of his cage?

I'd suggest soft cuddly things like old towels and t-shirts on most of the cage floor. Then place a litter box in the corner, and arrange it so that your ferret can't tip the litter box over. (Like maybe zap-strap the box to the cage wall.) If you make every other place a bed, fuzzy will probably narrow down his "hits" to the one corner you want him to use.
