Hi mate, ive just started ferreting and just made a box out of marine ply for the simple fact it is water proof. it quite expensive,but does the trick. I will sort some picks and will have the on my tommorow night.

Hi mate, here are the pics i seaid i would send you. This box was made out of marine ply wood. The hole box was screwed and glued. It is designed to carry my two ferrets.It has had one coat of dark oak wood stain and two coats of varnish. The black hinges are not fitted yet but they olny cost me 60p each from my local DIY shop I also bought a small hasp for £1. The box has cost me no more than £7 to make. For a shoulder strap I have used an old airgun sling, I have also attached a belt to the back of the box so I can put it round my waist aswel as my shouler to stop it from swingign when i am walking long distances. It is the first ferret box i have ever made and it was pretty easy too. I am realy pleased with it.

Hope this is useful to you.

Cheers!
