Hello
I have been trying to locate a Ferret Nation cage for a few months now, it seems that the pet stores in my area (Calgary, AB) do not sell them. Does anyone know where I can find one ? Doesn't matter if it's used or new, long as its in good condition. I can only seem to find the cages online. I have found one on eBay the 142 model but the bottom bolts are rusted fairly bad and apparently won't come out, is this an issue I should consider to not purchase it? What is the difference between the 142 model and 182? I can only find new 182 models online but I'm trying to avoid paying 300$ for another cage since the one I have is only about a month old and was around the same price.
I currently have a feisty ferret cage but I do not like it, the shelves are so tiny and it is hard to thoroughly clean the corners inside the cage.
Thanks in advance for any assistance/advice you can give me!

Check with petsmart. They sometimes carry them. Petland also has them, but they charge really exorbitant prices. Otherwise keep an eye on kijiji

Also while I have no experience fo either (I am in Australia and my ferrets are free range anyway), my understanding is that the 142 is the old model and the 182 is the new one. The main difference between the two being the old one bolted together whereas the new one doesn't (I think it snaps together)

When I was looking into getting one from abroad, bitbyter linked me this - www.chinchilla.ca/detail.php?ProductID=MW182. And when I was constructing it, there's occasionally a side panel that doesn't snap together well (the bottom supports are bolted, whereas the top is supposed to have nubs to slot together like a jigsaw puzzle).

Flower Town Chinchilla's is a good place. Shipping is reasonable, and customer service is excellent! I'd forgotten about them completely
