Hart" <[log in to unmask]> >Subject: Ferret Food Bowl >Check out the stainless steel bird bowls that fit inside a metal ring. >The ring is attached to the cage with a wing nut contraption. I'm glad these worked for you, but the sure didn't work for me. Hy guys had a wonderful time popping the bowls out of the ring sending food flying everywhere. The cage I was using at the time had a formica floor & they would do the *dance* when the dish & food came raining down. I think they liked the noise of everything spewing all over the formica. The best solution I found are CROCK LOCK BOWLS, also a bird supply. The difference is the bowl is fastened directly on to the cage with a screw-on nut - easy on, easy off. There's also a bracket that goes on before the screw which keeps the bowl from tilting from side to side. I also put them up high when dealing w/persistant diggers. Of all the bowls I've tried, these are by far the best. The ceramic break (*hooman droppage*), galvanized corrode, & the hang-on type are easily popped off like the steel bowls in the ring. I found the bin-feeder type the most trouble of all. They have to be watched to see when the food level is getting low, especially if the residual crumbs have to be dumped & if they have screening in the bottom, crumbs fall all over. >From: Karin Magistrali <[log in to unmask]> >Subject: Florida-bound Litter Facilities I always use newspaper on one side of my carriers. But they may be cumbersome to replace on the plane. Use paper towels. It'll be easy to rip off a bunch to carry w/you & you can change what's soiled out very easily.
