gnipper 6,628 Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Looking good mate. One thing I'd recommend and nobody seems to do is make a lip a couple of inch high round the ladders or all your shavings end up at the bottom. 2 Quote Link to post

Gazmapp 13 Posted May 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 How many ferrets do you keep in yours blue pocket rocket, am new to ferreting so just wondering how many to get Quote Link to post
Hot Meat 3,109 Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 You will fit three jills in there easy mate. Decent job there and I agree out a lip on the hutch or even on the mesh penels to stop shavings falling out. Best a luck on your ferreting career its addictive be carefull haha Quote Link to post

Gazmapp 13 Posted May 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Just got a big plastic sheet to use for rain, but am hoping to build a good size lean to off side of house which they can live under (hopefully) lol Quote Link to post

Gazmapp 13 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 My ferret hutch finished, finally thanks for all comments and advice, just need some ferrets now Quote Link to post
Country Joe 1,411 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 good bit of work, the top compartment, if that's the sleeping quarters, i would have made the mesh longer and the sleeping box shorter, keeps them warmer and you don't use as much bedding material, one of my hutches, i didn't build it, wouldn't know where to start, the sleeping compartment is insulated with ply over the insulation, you just need a handful of shavings all year round. not criticizing your good work just a thought.
