I haven't managed any yard work yet, but I've been productive, nonetheless.  😃

I moved Nelly Belly into a huge dog crate instead of the big ferret cage she was in.  She never walks around much, so she's got basically the same set-up, but with fewer levels.  I know her poor bones ache and she doesn't want to exercise.  She probably should more, but I don't know of any nice way to coax an opossum who just wants to sleep to exercise instead.  I don't know how much longer she'll be with me.  They have pretty short life spans, even in captivity, so I'm just going to make her comfortable.

So, that means that Barney and Fred inherited the huge ferret cage.  They are young and walk-y and energetic, so they will really make use of all that space.  Since I've got them on the correct diet, that should prevent them from developing bone issues.  Hopefully, they will stay walk-y and energetic for a long time.  🙂

Another bonus to the current setup is that I no longer have a large dog crate to fill.  As much as I like helping animals, I really overwhelm myself sometimes, and I promised Shadow that I'd back off of the dogs.  I need to, seeing as I still have one foster that hasn't budged.  If I keep taking in animals that aren't budging, I'll have to move out and give them the house.  LOL
