Coatesy900 0 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 if it gets really hot in the summer it might warm up quite a bit, but this time of year its ideal. Means you can wash it with a hose pipe, and it will keep the ferret's claws down. maybe if you notice it starting to get hot in the summer put some ply or something down, but if its in the shade then its unlikely to warm up to the point where it will burn their feet.

4x4dartmoor 2 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 is cement ok for a court floor? ive been told it will burn the ferrets feet? is this true? thank you Hi there i think you will be ok as most ferrets play in tubes and next boxes and platforms, And if it out working all the the better, But dont take my word for it as there are so many people on here who could tell you much much more than i can, As i have just started out with ferrets, But i did do a lot of looking on the net first. Good luck james Quote Link to post
neil_fret 6 Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 oh sorry pal i ment in a chemical type of burn he sed when he had this down they got red pads so he had to fetch it up? Quote Link to post
Coatesy900 0 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 In that case it is likely to be ammonia burns. This isnt from the cement, but the ferret's urine collecting on the floor and them being in constant contact with it. Make sure there is a gental slope to stop it collecting and you should be fine.

curly 3 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 if your casting a new slab, give it a week to dry, if the dust that comes of it gets wet the chemical reaction WILL burn their feet. Quote Link to post

deanflute 550 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 it is my understanding that concrete only burns when it is in wet form?? once it has dried and fully gone off i cant see it being a problem at all Quote Link to post
