The Condo Cage is a two-level cage made by Safeguard and designed years ago by our shelter operator. I have two of these and they're great. I don't recall the exact price (they have probably gone up since then anyway) but they're over $100. The Custom Commode(tm) is designed and made exclusively for "For Ferrets Only." It's a clear acrylic litter box that is custom made to fit perfectly in the Condo Cage. It has a high back (4" or so) and a low front of 1". It's a perfect fit and is extremely difficult, if not impossible, for a ferret to get behind it and push it around The "handcrafted Ferretsie" on the photo album is a ceramic like ferret or ferret head that comes in the sable, albino or whatever color pattern you would like. As for the photos in Modern Ferret: As you know, they have a long lead time for each issue, so they will most likely appear in Issue #22, which will be the May/June issue. They will appear along with an article on fund raising for shelters. For the ferrets, Mike * Michael F.
