ianltz 5 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 right lads, the hutch is now bought and built, just waiting for a member from here to get back to me about some ferts, bought a sheet of 9mm ply anyone got any tips about what sort or how to build a good ferret box??? regards Ian, is this ok for 2 ferrets?4ft x 18" wide and 18" deep, got some straw and 2 drinking bottles already, so that if one freezes i have a spare, and some ferret nuggets from pets at home, but good access to rabbit aswell, should i feed whole rabbit and if so how often? gonna build a frame so that they are up from the floor, about waist height to bottom of hutch will that be ok?

stealthy1 3,964 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Looks big enough to me for two ferrets Quote Link to post
Jamie93 57 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Hi mate. Hutch is bi enough for 2 but no more. The height with the stand will be far to high, you don't want the hutch to be any more than a foot off the ground if it's that size. Feed half a rabbit to them and feed th other half when the first has gone. Hope this helps Happy Hunting Jamie93 Quote Link to post

The one 8,476 Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 The hutch looks sound for a couple of ferrets but why no raise it off the ground so you dont have to be bent double to clean them out or feed them etc Quote Link to post
ianltz 5 Posted December 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 was thinkin of raising it up with a timber frame, and at a later date, boxing it in with some ply and mesh to make a double height hutch Quote Link to post
auld salmon 28 Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 (edited) i looks good should be warm enough just remember to turn the fire off at night you could double it up as a coffee table if you are leaving it there get some padalocks fitted to it better safe than sorry Edited December 22, 2009 by auld salmon Quote Link to post
