Hello friends,
I recently acquired an older Double Ferret nation (142, I think) from craigslist. It was used for ferrets and I had to really wash the thing. Anyhoodles, I have some questions about being able to use it for my Chin.
We've thoroughly washed and towel dried all the pieces, but there is some rust. Mostly on the inside perimeter bars, and in the corners. We will need new screws for sure.
But there's also a lot of rust to those black connector thingies. Can they be replaced? Is there something else we could use to attach levels and pieces?
We threw out the middle level plastic, and probably will throw out the metal bars that go below the plastic. We envision it to be completely empty on the inside, then fill it with wood toys and ledges.
Any recommendations on DIY ledges? How about people who sell ledges that would work with my older DFN?
What products are best to use when cleaning it while in use with my chinchilla?
Any toys, fleece, sleeper, etc ideas? I already have this little fleece bed thing that she loves, and her cooling plate, a wood house (needs to be secured! how?) and some small hanging chew toys. Ideas needed to keep her occupied, safe, and happy?
**EDIT
Can I use rust-oleum on in to cover the rust and essentially "re-paint?"
