I would have thought that it would be better to get yourself a container
and a dolly set lift. That way you could transport the ferret inside the
container and use it for living in during the show.
Okay I suggest this as I have an ulterior motive - I want someone to
test the viability towing a trailer dolly set and container long
distances before the Ferret Trans-USA road-run in 2005.
