stealthy1 3,964 Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 there is so many different styles of hutches out there. each one is different and each one serves its purpose. if my dad was in good health we (him) could build a cracking enclosure that would last for years. thats the plan when he gets better. some good hutches and runs there. stealthy1- your hutch setup is similar to a guys i know, very similar. hes a member on here Mine is a product of what I needed, its basically a three cage settup, the bottom is one cage with two nestboxes housing five jills and a snipped hob, the top two are singles, the front one near the mesh door is my hobs cage when the jills become ragged and need a break from his intentions, and the other is used for guests when mates come to stop at our house and fetch a couple of ferrets with them, or if someone goes on holiday I look after their ferrets in this cage Quote Link to post
B.P.R 2,798 Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Heres ours. very impressive stealthy- my hutch can easily be split into 3 different hutch by removing the ladders and putting a piece of wood over the joining holes. just incase i need to split them or like you said to keep other ferrets if need be 1 Quote Link to post
jimster68 123 Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 this is a picture of my court (6 foot long 2.5 foot wide and 2.5 foot high with 2 floors) and a ramp joining top and bottom. I built it inside my lockup that has a roller shutter door, so there is no need to weather proof the front all the doors on the front open for easy cleaning. and the top and bottom can be closed off when the hob and jills are in season.

Country Joe 1,411 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Nothing special compared to some, but does the trick, sleeping depatment in hutch is insulated., run is seperate, stick them in on dry days, but they do have shelter. Quote Link to post

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Some cracking set ups on here folks. My ferrets are in a 21' x 9' stable, at the moment they are in a 4' x 2' x 2' double tier hutch and have the run of the building for an hour or so each day. I'm in the process of dividing the building in 2 so they can permanently live in a 10' x 9' enclosure and there is a dog kennel which I will let them use for sleeping in, probably put a smaller box inside it to keep the draft out. Then the other half of the building I will keep my 4' x 2' x 2' double tier hutch in for next year when I get a couple of Jills Gaz Quote Link to post

bigbulls 26 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I built these two seasons ago, best thing I ever did for my ferrets. The wooden lids come off the beds leaving plastic and concrete to pressure wash out and it all runs down a drain that is cast along the backs of the pens. 1 Quote Link to post
