My hob chews through chicken wire for fun mate.

 

Doubled up wouldn't stop him.

First bite they remove the galvanism and it rusts if they bite there again it makes a hole and there out

I converted a huge dog crate for a ferret cage for a year and lined it with chicken wire. They never chewed it but for the first few months it was impossible to keep them inside they where always just loose around the flat as they could fit through it with ease

I tried making a run with some I had lying around. They could get there head through but not their body and got stuck. Cut the wire and freed her, and swiftly disposed of it. Would not advise at all, and as above, they chew it, they climb on it and bend it, just avoid it.

was needing to rewire the front of my hutch and have a side of a hamster cage was wondering if this would be ferret proof?
