Lab 10,979 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 I managed to get some half inch square galvanised mesh today for a decent price seems ok as well. If I put that on itl have three layers. - Chicken wire - 1.75" square thick stuff - .5" galvanised wire If it breaks through all of that then it deserves a medal. The hutch door is proper good quality welded stuff though takes a good few seconds to cut it even with a grinder. FFS it will be touching the roof..... Atleast it wont escape until the floor falls out with the weight...... Quote Link to post

Malt 379 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Theres different grades of rabbit netting(chicken wire) and the low grade stuff is crap and maybe a ferret would chew out but it would take some chewing to get through the thicker stuff. It's not just the chewing action to worry about though. Ferrets are strong little creatures and once wire's been bent back and forth a few times metal fatigue takes over. Just get the heavy guage rabbit netting....they'll do well to get through that al tell you...........even better get mouse netting. I have been fencing since i was 16 mate...i'm not just guessing..... So what, I've been ferreting since before I were born! Dad would wake us up early in the morning straight after he came home at half six at night. We'd be out at first light, just after t'sun had gone down, just in time for t'street lamps coming on wi a sack of ferrets, dry crust of bred and half dozen scabby nets wi 'oles in 'em! ..
