[codmaster127 64]

another double hutch just started it thought i would put a pic up as someone was asking me recently how to make one , 3x2 cls timber on this one mortise and tennoned, 3/4 ply on the rest, slaters lathe frame for the mesh doors with a small bedding compartment ,and a tree branch(thickish) to make the stairs,

Check you out, mortise and tennon joints on the ferret hutch, very impressive and properly made

They'll easily get out of that.

to be honest i dont really make them for other people because of the cost , its stupid timber prices, its usually favours  ,if you lived close and you supplied the materials i could consider it,

someone was asking why i make the sleeping end small its to stop them shitting in there ,which they tend to do if its to big ,cheers

I don't think the bed looks small, I would say it's about the right proportion.

whats the overall size ?

One I made for the kids' rabbit last week. Nice and solid with liftable roof.

this one is 600 deep and 1200 long not sure on height ,try and make them to suit a sheet of ply so not to have to much waste

[codmaster127 64]

i like to use thick gauge wire on the doors when i can get it ,it tends to keep the doors square ,but again its quite expensive,

any young ferrets coming along i could do with a bit of new blood, smallish hob , last few havnt been up to scratch, from workers if poss,
