    Thanks I remeber as a kid one of the mates lived on margarine and his mother would buy a large plastic container of margarine. We got the empty container and cut it in half at an angle that both halfs where the shape of a triangle and put one half in the corner the ferret shit in but with it not fixed solid the ferrets would play with it, but when they left it in the corner long enough to fill it with shit it was handy just to lift it out and wash it out

    Thanks Flacko, yeah great to use up all scrap wood, took longer this way than buying brand new timber and alot more effort and work involved. you just dont see it after I put a few coats of paint on it. I will probably really use it in spring and summer as its very wide open and probably be a bit cold and airy in winter. just use it in the winter for a big run for the ferrets and put them into my other hutches that are alot more timber and probably warmer in winter for them. Sure you never know with the smaller nest box full of shavings they should be warm in that together in the winter. I wil

    thanks lads, thanks for the tip, il keep an eye on the wire, ive one on the go 8 years with the same wire and still going grand. I wouldnt have thought about the wire rotting. simple things slip the mind sometimes

    it wont be on grass it be in the dogs pen with the dog.It was only on the lawn while I was painting it and just put the ferrets in for a quick pic. If you look at the cage at least 5 footx28inches is a solid wooden floor. so if the ferrets dont like the 24inches x28 inches of wire they will stay on the solid wooden floor, I wouldnt call it lazyness.I would call it saving time. I have 5 dogs in individual pens and 2 ferret hutches, I also breed birds and at the minute approaching breeding season Im up to 8 flight cages and 21 breeding boxes. So alot to do aswell as walk the dogs so anything tha

    same in Ireland you can get your dogs tail docked legaly by a vet, just a money earner I think.

    you cant see it in the picks but there is a smaller box in the ferret hutch for them to use as a nest box to sleep

    The roof will get felt on it and hinges. The roof is the door. I had onlt finished painting it and it was still on the lawn. It will be put in the dogs pen and raised of the floor on cavity blocks. Had the ferrets in a different hutch with that wire on the floor and have never had any trouble with feet or legs passing through it. Must be using that wire like that about 8 years now. When the ferret shits in the corner it falls through the wire and onto the dogs pen floor and just pick it up with the dog shit. Handy little system.
  22. Raymond
    the wire is like that so the shit falls through and onto the ground in the dogs pens.I just pick the ferret shit up with the dog shit.

    ment to say the 2.55 euro was for U nails to fix the wire to the timber
  24. Raymond
    cost me 2.55 euro to build this hutch for the ferrets, built from old salvaged screws, broke down a few old pallets and cut up to size. Cut rotten ends of timber to get a usable piece to use and the paint is a part tin I had from 2 year ago when painting the pens. Just to finish the roof. A mate is giving me a piece of felt for the roof.
