Ferret Cage help

[Demon9374]

Would this cage be suitable for 2 ferrets?

I'll be getting kits, so at first I guess it would be ok, but when they grow up.. They'll be let out everyday to have run of the house & spare room set up just for them, so would it do to put them in for when I'm not at home/sleeping.

thats fine while they are kits but once they are 4months old your gonna need something 3 times that size something like these::

Cheers, I'd love a ferret nation home, but damn the price! xD

Hmm found a Critter 3 Cage on eBay for £41.99 Linky

I've got a wardrobe I could convert, but I haven't the tools, left them all at my mothers when I moved out.

Just saw this at Holistic Ferret Forum too someone had built. :O Linky

critter 3 is a good price! i would rathe spend the money converting a wardrobe though will be alot bigger and you will have a great sense of achievement every time you look at the little furkids!

That cage is a very simple plan and fairly cheap to make.

[Demon9374]

Aye been thinking about it all evening, might draw up some plans and pop down to B&Q and price it up soon.

Thats the one I was going to do lol how weird lol.I like it as it safe and you can jump in with them.loads of space for them to play in.plus Iam guessing you could build it up to have couple of floors if you make it strong.Good luck with it

critter cages are awful
real cheap shit, you need to get a decent cage or the ferrets will get bumble foot

If your looking for a pre-made cage, then look for the aviary/chinchilla type cages.

Bumble foot is rare in ferrets and the only time they will get bumble foot related to the cage is if they have scratched paw pads from poor cage floor design and they live in filth, allowing for great infection to set in.

I was going to line the floors if I got a Critter Cage with something anyways, preferably soft material, not lino type. I have spare carpet, but I'm not sure if the ferrets claws would get caught up in this carpet I have.
