... and the Dynamic Duo!
Hello all. Just me, with another harebrained idea. As some of you might be aware, I've been working on adding second levels to the cages for a while and the project was put on hold due to other things taking priority. I got to thinking that the hogs probably won't use the second level and as a result, I’ve been tossing around the idea of removing the middle wall between my two Ferret Nation cages (model 142) to make 2 long spaces rather than 4 smaller spaces. I saw that someone did the same thing with a rat cage, but I can’t find the picture to show.
Cuda would love the extra space since he does a lot of moving and exploring all night, but I’m not completely sure how the girls would enjoy it. They’ve had playtime together, and are pretty indifferent to each other. Kismet is curious about Vette and follows her around like a little sister would, but Vette pretty much ignores her. Eventually, Kismet gets bored and does her own thing. They’ve never nipped or done anything to bother the other in all the times they’ve been out together. For those that have successfully introduced two girls, would you think this is a promising sign?
Also, for those that have Ferret Nations, do you think I’d be compromising the structure of the cage too much by removing the middle wall between the two cages? I’ve seen people do a similar thing with chin cages when they remove the floor from the top cage, but I’m pretty sure it’s not the same thing. Any insight?
