Hello all, General zoo around here as usual. The other day, someone mentioned the controversial Midwest ferret playpens. I was wondering why they are controversial. I got one from my grandparent's for Christmas. It is working out great (even though it seems to take up a 1/4 of my living room). I keep two or three towels on the first floor along with a litter box in one corner and food and water bowels in the other. Also, there is a cardboard box on its side with a towel for sleeping in the dark. There are three hammocks hanging in different spots and I plan to cover the ladders and shelves with carpet. I can't see any potential trouble, except for a foot caught in the ladder which is why I want to use the carpet. It is much bigger than what I had before, so I don't feel *too* bad about going out all day if need be. Also, the big size lends itself to any ferret math that might occur. :) Today, Trevor got something in his eye and walked around squinting it for awhile, I rinsed it and was going to take him to the vet if need be but now, he seems much better. Is there anything I can do for him should this happen again or should I go directly to the vet? And there was somehting else I wanted to ask, but it eludes me...so I'll write should I remember it. Thank you, Jacki Kif and Trevor [Posted in FML issue 2228]
