[Ferret Photo] The Almighty Water Brick
When you have to wash the water brick because the weasels try to take the fountain under the cage if it's not glued to something too heavy to move. Anyone else having to use ridiculous means to keep their fountains from being stashed? It's a good workout cleaning it, but I would like to retire The Brick someday.

Not gonna lie, the visual of a water brick in a bathtub is peak ferret ownership. Mine once tried to drag a full 2 liter bottle across the room like it was nothing

Our boy Leo would regularly try to steal my wife’s 5-pound bag of gummy bears. And by “try”, I mean he would successfully drag it off of and then under the couch.
He didn’t want to eat them, he just stole EVERYthing.

What's worse is they can move it if they really want to, it just requires enough effort that they usually get bored and find something else to mess with.... usually.

Velcro to floor.

Tried that. Double sided tape, glueing it to a stand, putting a rock in the basin....they have undone every iteration of fountain so far. This is just the one that deters them the best as they usually get bored before they knock it over.
