Guest Countryboyo Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 I was wondering if I could use one of my rabbit breeding pens as a ferret court/run. Its one inch mesh and im wonderin if it would be ok for young ferrets or are the holes in the mesh too big. also its 4 foot x 6 foot x 2 foot high. Pictures below. Quote Link to post

welshshrek 0 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Hi Country, just had a look at your photos of the mesh and that'll be fine, i use similar in my court and not had any problems to date. Just one question though what are you gonna use as a base as ferrets will escape given half a chance. atb Quote Link to post
Guest Countryboyo Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 the mesh will be fine ,just have a hard surface though not grass Ya it will be on concrete and they will have a small hutch in it with bedding and a few pipes. is the 6 foot x 4 foot x 2 foot high size ok for two ferrets?

Guest Countryboyo Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Nice one should I keep the cage outside and cover the top of the cage or would it be better off in a shed? also is it ok on concrete? Quote Link to post
