only just built it but they love playing in it, but i have a feeling it will wear off and it will get very little use, but who knows.

Artemis, I started all off with all the toys etc they dont use them

 

All a Ferret needs is a good clean cage or court, and a decent bed :thumbs-up: Water and food too, obviously.

 

I got a tube at the bottom of my Hutch, all they do is stash food in it (little b*****ds lol) and give them big cow bones from the Butchers everynow and again, thats all I use anyway

 

Im interested to find out about the squeeky toy for training?

They love pipes and levels that lead somewhere different but mine never use pipes on the floor. They have been using the wheel al morning, and now they are al back asleep.

I have been told that I am spending more time and effort on the soon to arrive ferrets than I did for our children.

 

 

What does this say about me?

Cor,

 

this thread really should be called 'Pimp my Court'. Some nice looking set ups here.

 

Mine is still under construction and time is running out, only have 4-5 weeks before I pick up the kits.

 

This is how it looked a little while ago:

 

 

and now with some of the shuttering and part of the floor laid:

 

 

Still alot of work to do. But by the end of this week, I am hoping to have the ceiling in and the front mesh done.

Do you not find it exciting building the court? I found that I just went with the flow and let it take shape without having a plan

get down to your builders merchants and buy a couple of metres of land drain (its 100mm flexible pipe with tiny holes in it ) its fairly cheap and you can bend it any way you want , gives the ferrets more of an idea about going up and down different levels like a warren .

Has been very exciting and am enjoying every moment. But, it has been planned from conception to completion and I know exactly what I am doing at every stage.

 

I suppose that is my nature, I am a systems/storage manager in IT and everything has to be planned or you are stuffed!

My next door neighbour is the herdsman for the estate we live on, he is bringing round some AG pipe on his tractor next week. He also dropped off a tonne of road plannings and another tonne of sand for the concrete base. So not only was it free, it is also recycled as it is old road surface.

 

Once the framework is completed, I will be building several platforms all connected via the pipe, they should be able to move all around the court via platforms & pipes.

F**K all those courts look smashing Im going to build mine a court but my garden is too small

[The Ferret 0]

Ferrets will play with anything. Don't bother with expensive toys, mine have old boots, cardboard boxes, flower pots, in fact, they love anything they can get into!

 

Just chuck things in and watch the mayhem!!
