ulverston moocher 60 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I have read a couple of books that have stated in them that mesh floors are better for ferrets feet than a wooden base I dont use mesh my self but know a few that do I think its just a preference thing realy, my freinds have no bother with any foot problems and the ferrets seem happy to walk on the mesh. So each to there own mate bonny ferrets and good luck with them Quote Link to post

The one 8,481 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 When i first saw the pict's i thought you had a run attached to your hutch.Both my hutches have wire floors because my dad made them that way where he lived he kept them out the road and the crap would fall through the wire and he would scrape it out from under the hutch . But when i bought the ferrets down here i had to put plywood on top of the wire because it would be more acceptable to the neighbours .But my dad kept ferrets for years and years like that and as you say its a perfect set up Quote Link to post
