That's identical to what I have. I have a couple of two-storey hutches too but the large henhouse is brilliant. I made a few adjustments like adding extra clasps top and bottom of the large meshed door. Also added a latch on either side of the flap door on the nest box as the dogs would be able to lift it open causing a potential ferret escape. I have it sitting on concrete slabs and have added pipes etc.

The area that overhangs is supposed to be a laying box for hens so is partitioned off from rest of the box area. That's where the ferrets choose to sleep and I just have it packed with wood shavings. It's been fine for several winters but I've never had less than about 5 ferrets in there, might be colder with only one or two in there. I had a Jill with 10 kits in there, moved them in at around 6 weeks old and they thrived in it for months.  I fitted a small platform for a food bowl but you could add something larger to take advantage of the height.

How’re ye @spudlington,

I saw that you were selling ferrets a while back and was wondering if you breed/have any ferrets for sale.

If you do could you send a price list?

Cheers.
