B.P.R 2,798 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Does anybody go away ferreting for a weekend or have to stay over somewhere the night? If so what do you keep the ferrets in overnight? I took mine in the week overnight in a cat carrier to ferret down by my old mans. Woke up to the carrier on it's side in the back of the car and the ferrets covered in sh!t. Decided to make a box for them to stay in. It's just over 2 1/2 feet wide (to fit in boot) with a 1/2 mesh front. Will do the job for me. What do you use? Cheers Quote Link to post
Millet 4,497 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I don't do it very often but i once had a trip too a mate's with the ferret's..i have one of them sky kennel's that is bigger than a cat carrier they stopped in that for about 4 day's with no problem's.. Quote Link to post
TOMO 26,503 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 yep ive used a plstic pet carrier with no probs,,, but cos i have a van i have used a small ferret cage. Quote Link to post
Millet 4,497 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I have seen cage's used before which is handy if you have a van..you can also take more ferret's and change them over if it's a busy day.. Quote Link to post
B.P.R 2,798 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 this si the one i made. pretty rough when you look close at it but cost nothing to make, fits nicely in the boot and will be good enough for what i need it for. just waiting on the latches to arrive off ebay to lock the lid. 1 Quote Link to post

Looks pretty smart that bud! I use a cat carrier at the moment but am going to make something similar to what you've done there I think. Quote Link to post
The one 8,494 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I adapted a pigeon crate and had a weekend away ferreting using it works a treat ,and i use it for transporting all the ferrets till i put them in there carrying boxes at the permission . Quote Link to post

B.P.R 2,798 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Thanks. Rake your box is spot on! Works a treat in the back of the motor, that's what gave me the idea to Make this. I just flung this together and it's a little rough when your up close to it. I only had a hand saw and some nails so put it together and then got some screws and re- enforced it all and put hinges on etc. Would o been a lot better if I had the right equipment. Oh- and the paint job is to cover the sh!t wood Quote Link to post
