Ok, so I forgot to add the little bit about cages... To the person in Alaska (sorry, don't remmeber your name!:), I'm thinking of expanding my cage too. Its a two story cage, and that can't possibly be big enough for my two overly spoiled ferrets! I was pondering doing something with chicken wire, but it seems that the fuzzbutts would probably try to stick their heads through that, and that wouldn't be a good thing at all. I've done a little bit (not a lot) of searching, and so far I haven't found anything suitable for building an addition. At one point, I had a plastic crate rigged up to the cage, which I thought was a pretty neat idea, but the ferrets took one look at it, then I swear they looked at me and laughed, because after all the time I spent bungee-cording it on, making sure they couldn't squeeze through it...they went back to sleep in their hammock. ;) I'm hoping to make the addition collapsible...which I don't think this will be too hard, once I actually get the time to go out searching. If anyone has any spare time, feel free to send it to me. With these pesky classes approaching, I'll be sure to be experiencing a shortage. I have their two story cage sitting on a footlocker right now. I think I'll leave it their, and build the addition to come up to the top of the bottom door, which is probably about 2.5feet or so. I think the addition might be two levels as well. Who knows, maybe their mind powers will overcome me, and I will build them a four story cage to attach to the front of their cage...Hopefully I'll be able to make it all come together (or entice the ferrets to use their powers on the boyfriend) and not be too expensive....and not take up my entire living room. ;) Well that's about all the rambling I'll torture you with today. :) Brenda Pinky & the Brain [Posted in FML issue 2778]
