    Loofah?

    There is a guy at the local farmers market that has all natural loofah and he said he normally washes it off with dawn soap and let's it dry or he said he could peel it and just let it dry. Would the dawn hurt them or would it be best to get it peeled and just let it dry out?

Also...

    Double Hammocks?

    Do any of you know where I can get a double hammock that will stretch about all the way across a critter nation cage? I just redid Finley's cage and he got a little spooked a couple of times and fell and I am worried he is really going to hurt himself. He has a bridge that goes all the way...
