anybody make ferret boxes

[B.P.R 2,798]

i made one. well chuffed with it until i realised that i had bought the wrong wood. i got MDF instead of plywood. i soaked it in paint to try and protect it. think i might of made it a wee bit too big. everybody that has seen it has been like ' bloody hell, its nearly the size if a rabbit hutch' gutted lol

[Dameize 7]

my hutch is plywood but looks like it would absorb stuff. knowing my luck itl absorb all the ferrets crap and stink.

I still use the first box i ever got of my own, my old man made it for me. It's fecking heavy, feels like it's made of scaff planks but solid enough to sit on, or for when it rolls down bankings. It will take 4 stinkers, and has a strip from a barbour jacket as the strap. It did, one day last season fall apart mid trip, but it's repaired and lives on. Must be 20 years old at least. Wouldn't swop it for anything

Ferret carry boxes manufacturers come and go....if you have a look through the old posts you'll see a recent thread that concentrated on the boxes made by Micheal flatters & moxey.....both are good lads who offer a fantastic service at a reasonable price, have a look for this recent post & take your pick, I'm sure you'll be more than happy with your choice....

Your right mate, i'm a big poof

 

On a serious note though, climbing up near vertical hillsides with the box with 4 stinkers in, a shovel, back pack full of nets, water bottle, locator, and a pile of rabbits strung off every limb, in the fecking rain, is no joke.

 

Apprentice. . . . . .we need a fecking sherpa!

I did wonder It's out now tho

 

We got ourselves a rabbit carrier last season though, by the name of 'Young Tom', to be fair to him he did well

 

Sometimes it's a bit much mind and nice to get back to the odd mooch with just one jill in a pocket, a dozen nets in my other pockets, a good knife and the dog

[michael flatters 2]

i make triple and large double boxes from proper birch ply not softwood or far eastern as in my opinion its not good enough,I use protex toggle catches complete with matching protex locking clips and 100mm zinc plated tee hinges.Pm me if you are interested.

[michael flatters 2]

[ivanh 4]

moxy on here made me this one

can carry your nets in it to

[mrmen16 5]

Thanks for the reply guys, got 2 boxes in mind ones being made so if i like it im going buy it if not its the plastic one off eBay ill be buying

[Jamie m 668]

Nice work flatters like the look of the large double , but I wouldn't need the piece in the middle to split the box would be for 5 or six jills , can you sit on one for a brew and a snack had one off eBay comes without varnish on crap it was all bluddy staples , Sitting on it is a must for an oldie like me with creaking joints ,

[michael flatters 2]

Yes you can sit on it ok,i glue them with Titebond 2 glue and pin them too.I wanted to use countersunk screws for the top,But the boxes are made from 9mm Birch ply and i cannot get any countersunk screws short enough.
