Thanks for all of the info! That's funny that you mentioned the duck soup, I actually found a recipe for that on the net and saved it just incase.

I don't have a Tikeya lol, but Jynnelle does, and we're moving out together.

The cage I have is fairly big; maybe not big enough, but the ferret wouldn't be inside it all the time. I'd probably give it free run of my room while I'm at home (with the door closed lol, Tikeya would want to eat him ). I have a picture of the cage somewhere....I would hang a nice big hammock in it.
