Hey there, I adopted two malnourished and unspoiled fuzzies who came with a large mid-west type cage, but one made for birds. That is, looks the same but it didn't have the shelves. It's about 4' tall, 3' wide and 2' deep. When I got it, all the two fuz-butts had in it was a big, covered cat litterbox, a blanket, and a tiny hammock hanging from the roof! The fuzzies would climb up the vertical wall of the cage to get into the hammock, and then exit by dropping the 2+ feet to the top of the litter box. Anyway, I'm cheap, so here are some things I did to fill the space. I made two more large hammocks to serve as shelves, tiers, sleeping space, etc. I took two old pillowcases and put a small rock (or balled up napkin) in each corner. Tie rope around rock, tie to cage side. Voila. In one pillowcase I stuck a section of the sunday paper, to make the hammock a little more sturdy. The other hammock I hung at an angle, and they use it as a slide to the blanket on the floor. Take rocks out to wash. I also tied a shoebox with holes cut in it to the side of the cage as another perch/hideyhole. (Fortunately none of my fuz-butts are rope-chewers.) Then I got real crazy and rolled up a 2' section of carpet scrap and hung it in the center of the cage. They LOVE this. To Charleen, is the ramp made of cageing? Maybe your ferret doesn't like the feel of the metal on his/her feet. Try covering it with an old towel, rag or rug. Just my .01 (Cheap.) :) Kristine Phoebe (I love the rug tube & slide.)
