After much reseach and deliberation these past few months, I have decided to set forth my goal to be owned by two ferts. However, I am a grad student and have a budget. Affording the monthly supplies isn't the problem, its the initial set up that has put a financial crunch in my goal. I have been to local pet shops looking for a cage, but the ones I have found don't look big enough for two ferrets, not to mention they all want $200 for it. And after that I still need dishes, litter pans, travel carrier, grooming supplies, food, treats, toys, and any few miscellaneous things I can't think of at the moment. Oh, and I still need to buy the ferts. Does anyone have any suggestions about how I might get around some of these expenses? I want to get my apartment set for their homecoming before spring break, because I want to get them during spring break so I will have an exuberant amount of time to spend with them as they are getting used to their new home. Desperately seeking suggestions (email me!!!) Stacy [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 2611]
