Health / Lily has a booboo :(
« on: October 30, 2009, 10:45:00 PM »
I went away for the week to visit my sister for our birthday, and left my mom in charge of animal care. I came home and first thing I did was check on everyone - and Lily has a booboo on her nose that is scabbing over. I'm pretty sure I know how she got it, I have my chinnies in a ferret nation 142, with three on the bottom (Lily, Luna, and Lexi) and two on the top (Loki and Link) -  (I'm working on getting another cage and moving the two on top to it, so the three on the bottom can have the entire ferret nation cage). One of the top two is Loki, and she sits on the one spot where they can sniff eachother through the cages... Lily has a habit of clinging to the top of her cage and "visiting" her neighbors. Now, Loki is not really friendly, and I have a feeling she nipped Lily on the nose.

I was just wondering if there is anything I should put on the nose to help it heal, or just leave it alone? It does not look infected and it is just scabbed over. Lily isn't acting out of the ordinary, and is still her friendly self. Thanks!

Q & A / Closetmaid shelving
« on: October 13, 2009, 09:22:00 AM »
I am planning on building my chinnies a bigger cage. I would like to use Closetmaid wire shelving, but I'm not sure if they are safe, their description says "White vinyl finish."

What do you guys think? Would this be OK for my chins cage?
