I'm a little slow in posting about this but I'd been busy since we returned from our trip a few weeks ago.
In August the boyfriend and I went on Vacation and during this we made a trip to Vancouver Island where we met up with Darlene who had been kind enough to offer us a Ferret Nation 142 unit. I was very happy when she made the offer because I had resigned myself to buying the 181's and modifying them to work with my 141. I was blown away when she told me she didn't want anything for them.
Thank you again Darlene!!
Now I am home and hopefully can get some free time to work on the cage soon. There is some rust that we want to sandblast off and then repaint. I need to contact MidWest to see if we can buy the paint they use off them. I also think I might replace one of the trays that has a crack in it but I want to look at it more closely. I need to order a new tray with the corner cut out anyway cuz the 141 is being turned into a 143 for now.
I'll be saving the storage area from it and one day hopefully I will be able to build a double wide. If I had the space now I'd start that now but one day.
I ordered a new shelf to replace the older style flat shelf my 141 had. I'd never let them use the old shelf once I got Nyx because I was scared her little toes and or feet would get hurt by it. But now the hook Pierre had made out of a T bracket to hold the shelf in place no longer works so we have to find a way to keep them from knock it down. They haven't yet but I know my three, it's only a matter of time. It only took Zeus a week to knock the ramp to the shelf down and then three days after that he managed to get INSIDE the ramp cover...
And they all climb the side of the cage rather then use the ramp to get up. Zeus and Nyx jump down. Hades will use the ramp to get down cuz he's scared of falling or jumping but half the time he's trying to pull his big but up to the shelf and he falls doing that.
Sometimes I think he's not to bright.
I was a little annoyed when we got the stuff I ordered from Petsupplies.com, which includes the shelf cuz it was cracked and it's brand new. I haven't had a chance to contact them yet so hopefully that can be fixed.
I also need to buy a thick sheet of plastic to put up on the wall to protect it from the things that fall out of the cages. While we where on our trip someone throw up and it was all over the wall and in between the wall and the molding at the base of the wall. I still have to get it out of there. I've been meaning to get something to prevent stuff from getting in that crack for a while but haven't yet.
Always so much to do.
