Lori Christian asked about litterpans when traveling (along with a few others). The ferrets asked me to describe their travel carrier which they seem to love (they often sleep in it at home when they get tired). It is an intermediate size carrier (nothing too big). The important part is a board on 4" stilts set inside. The board has a hold cut in one corner so the ferrets can crawl underneath into a pile of towels. Above the board is a hammock (of course). I cut three other holes in the board. One large one has a shallow box fastened under it as a litterpan. The other two are smaller and deeper. One holds food and the other catches drippings from the waterbottle. The board, litterpan, and bowls are one piece and coated with fiberglass so it can be washed in dishwasher, etc... All four (females) fit together fine in the three levels (usually all in the hammock, but sometimes in the basement). The middle floor is for observing me, eating, drinking, and pooping. -- ------------------------------------------------------- Bryan P.
