    Temporary Home

    Hello! My house is being treated for termites. What kind of home should I put my chinchillas in for 3 days? I cannot carry my Ferret Nation around due to its size. Also, is there any pet boarding service that you guys know of around Garden Grove? (20 minute drive or so?) Thank you! :)

    Bass Pans

    I have a ferret nation and I wanted to switch the pans. If I order, http://www.bassequipment.com/Cages/Ferret+Pans/default.aspx will I have to put any other dimensions/size, or is this customized specially for the ferret nations? Oh and if I wanted to make the pan 3 inches deep, how do I do that?
