I'm a Construction Worker today.

Yesterday I got a rat/ferret cage for the two girls. (very cheaply, off of Craigslist)

And it appears that Lady can escape from the top.

So I got some thick wire and needlenose pliers/wire cutters.

And now I'm workin' away at filling the big gaps.

Or I was, till my fingers got sore.

I'm now taking a break, and eating.

The whole thing is about 1/4 the way done.

Warrrrgh.

Here's a pic of the cage from yesterday, before we found out they could escape.

1- Flavored Wood Chew

2- Continuous Climbing rope

3- Bug

4- Home made climbing rope

5- Food bowl

6- Lady climbing up the side

7- Edible hutch, can barely see

8- Plastic igloo house

9- Water bottle

10- Rarely used wheel.

Oh boy... that sounds like a fun job! I hope you get it fastened up quickly, without too much time or effort. Naughty escapee girls!

Wow, i wish i was one of your rats! That is a luxury home to be sure!

Well, it's finally done. I had no idea my fingers could get so sore from all that wire bending and cutting and twisting!

And after some soothing spaghetti, I feel better. Also, the girls cannot es-cah-pay. (That's Zoespanish for escape)

And here's the pic:

It reminds me of the razor wire on the top of prison fences.

Haha, my wife and I say the same thing all the time.

Nice looking cage, good to know your ferrets are trapped.

So you ladies have spent a lot of time gazing at prison fences, too huh? Did you ever wish that yr eyes gave off laser beams so that you could cut through them and escape?

No, I can't say that I have... thankfully. But my Mom used to live about a mile and a half from the prison in Hillsboro, IL. And I've passed by it a million times. We once ran out of gas not far from her house, and had a heck of a time getting anyone to stop (even though it was a men's prison) and help us out. The signs "Do Not Pick Up Hitchhikers" didn't help.

I'm with Kat. There's the state's prison in McAlester, I've been by it lots.

I always lock my door in the car if it isn't already.

I live near the high security prisons out here, and u don't dare stop by them, once my son had a flat and pulled off the road which is 55 on st rt 83 and before he stopped the car, the state police was on him.....
