Of course, since I took and posted all of those nice detailed cage pictures, we had to go and rearrange the cage. It’s a minor adjustment, really. We added a water fountain!

Fish supplies really come in handy for this ongoing ferret cage project.  The feeder we use is an automatic fish feeder, and this fountain is a fish filter!

This isn’t the first time we’ve had a water fountain for the ferrets, and even the last one was made from a fish tank filtration system. The last one didn’t work out very well, it leaked/spilled all over the place, it ran low on water too quickly for that reason, when it ran out of water the pump would need minor repairs to get going again… It was a short lived experiment, let’s just say that.

We were talking about that fountain the other day, though, and it got us to thinking of ways we could have improved it. Which led us to the aquarium store, and eventually to the fountain you see above. It’s a little messy, still, but we’re working on it. I’m not reshoooting the cage photos until we’re sure we’re going to keep it. We had to move the fan, because the fan sat right under it.  So if we decide to stick with the fountain stay tuned for new pictures of the whole cage soon!

The ferrets love it, by the way. They love water, and they really seem to enjoy the steady flow of it. I’d imagine the trickling sound is probably pretty calming, too!
