oooooh its looking very nice! (my mum agrees!)!! what are the measurements? the tube looks very steep(since its totally vertical), do you know if he'll have any trouble? the summer we had the opposite problem with paint, it was too darn HOT to do all day!  |

its 58 tall over all 34 wide 18 or 20 deep the actual liveable part is 30 wide 48 tall and 18 deep. the tube is ridged and has perforations cut into it (it came like that actually) and im goint to put dowels int the tube so his limber butt can hoist himself up since i've seen him take a great leap and hoist him self up 35 inches before. *the tube IS ont 35 inches and im going to redo it so i can caulk it to the bottom level with a hole in it then make a hole on the second level and it opens up on the 3rd. i'll pm you when i have it all done. it was warm enough to paint today =) and should be tomorrow too =D i hope to have it done by tomorrow evening.

That looks awesome! Most of the home made ferret cages I have seen look like the creator took no time to plan and just began nailing boards together, but yours was obviously well thought out! I bet your fuzzies are thanking you |

End result is fantastic. Have you ever thought about crocheting thim some sleep sacks or something? I bet you could come up with something great since you did such a good job on his hoodie without any pattern to go by.
