Thanks for the idea Lisa. We have two of these pens connected and do cover
the floor with blankets and such, but they sometimes tunnel under the
blankets. My concern is if the bugs are on the floor, they can get through
cloth. I've seen how PetCo employees clean up from a puppy accident, not how
I would do it to prevent the spread of whatever. We don't want to stop
taking the ferrets to these educational events, and like presenting them out
of a cage in a playful setting. I'm always amazed at the folks that seem to
think they are a *cage animal* all the time. We also want to keep them as
safe and healthy as possible. Gotta be a way....
