Mines a bit basic compared to some but its better than just a hutch and its all built of scrap timber so it was free!

I am wanting to get a few ferrets. Obviously I would like to make sure that they have somewhere nice to live first.

 

The picture of your ferret court looks perfect for the space that I have got. I was wondering if you had a set of plans or a cutting list?

 

Many thanks,

 

Alex

 

 

 

Just got one of these to clean it out. Takes about 3 mins now

bet you've got some super fit ferrets Doddsy!

That is one amazing run, I wonder just how many ferrets it could accommodate, especially if you're extending it.

At the moment there are 31. 25 jills and 6 hobs. The hobs are in hutches at the moment and i want to extend it to give them some exercise space.

The floor is concrete but it is covered in wood bark in the picture. I have now changed the floor to straw because they love burrowing and generally frollicking about.

Do you not have any problems with ticks and fleas ? or as some people have said ferrets getting hard bits inbedded in ermm soft spots ?

 

I've always been told straw isn't the right stuff to use but im finding less and less reasons why lol

 

also what about when it rains does it get manky ?

I only use straw in the outside and ive had no problems with ticks or fleas although if you get gerren hay they can be a problem then. As for when it rains, it just gets wet. I change it once a month 2 bales it takes to do the whole floor and as the only go to toilet in the corners it gets picked up and burnt.
