Built a new pen

[Tyla 3,179]

Just finished building this for the ferrets. They belong to my buddy but due to a change in his circumstances they are staying with me for the foreseeable future. They looked bored in their hutches so i knocked this up, all made from scrap so didnt cost me a penny

 

it needs a few finishing touches but it will do. What other things are good to put in to keep them entertained?

Nice one , you have made a cracking job of that

HOW ABOUT A FRUIT MACHINE THESE FERRET HUTCHES ARE LOOKING MORE LIKE CENTRE PARKS EVERY DAY THEY MUST BE HAPPY I SUPPOSE

 

The way i see it is if you expect your ferrets to do a decent days work you house them correctly, a ferret living in cramped conditions isnt going to be much use really

you have made a good job of it and even better that it didnt cost you anything ,i paid a fortune for mine

Thanks, i reckon it cant be good for them being cramped all the time. it must be like asking a couch potato to do a hard days graft, asking a ferret that barely moves all day to chase rabbits for hours!

Well common sense tells me a ferret who is allowed some freedom is going to be better toned than a ferret who has a very basic hutch & no run to explore

How about a few of ladders and shelves? Excellent job there but alot of wasted height. jmo. basil.

Nice job mate, its good to see people taking good care of the ferrets. i've seen too many just stuck in a dirty cage and only getting a look out if their owner can be arsed to get out and do a bit.

WOW!! Thats brilliant, and all from scrap- even better. Well done Tyla.

Thats true but i am 6'2" and need to get in it to clean it so the height is important to me! i think shelves and ladders are a good idea though, maybe a bit of tree trunk and some old t shirts as hammocks too? Perhaps Tyla's kong dog toy too as she just ignores it!

Tidy job! I've got some good timber I salvaged from a job I did. All I've got to do, is de-nail them, and there ready to go. (when I get round to it! )

I`m not trying to p**s on your bonfire because that`s a spot on job you`ve done, but if the ferrets can`t benefit from the height of the court then they just as well be in a large hutch. Shelves don`t have to be wide and ladders can be removable and they love drainpipes. Go on try it, if it doesn`t suit then you can always take it out again. basil.

i wasnt being sarky mate, i think its a good idea and i will be adding shelves and that asap. Your right about the space if they cant use it but i want to put stuff in there for them to climb on.
