Thank for that. we have Black pipe roughly 6ft its currently not being used so i hope this will work. i was thinking of building a sliding door that can be propped open. with this much space for all the ferts would it be necessary to shut them in at night or is it advisable to allow them access to both Shed ( 6x6) and run (12x9) 24/7? the shed will eventually have shelving and pipes that allow for upwards adventures as the ground alone wouldnt be enough space i dont think? thanks for all the advice guys x

Hi Everyone me again..... so not quite a year later but near enough. UPDATE: we have found a shed ( wooden play house) and are in the process of building a 12ft x 9ft run ( basically a release pen) that should arrive next week. my next question for everyone who were so lovely last time i posted is, how the heck do i connect the Shed and the run. im thinking of just building the shed in the run. maybe this would work? or a catflap? maybe a pipe with a closing end ( to keep them out whilst cleaning) last weekend was taken up by starting the base plate for the run and laying slabs.

Thanks for the warm welcome! unfortunately the shed we were getting from a well known 2nd hand website has fallen through so we are now on the hunt for another. i have seen a couple of 6x4s and then bigger but nowhere near the kind of price range we are looking at. back to the drawing board and we will keep searching i think

they are on rubber mats at the moment as the floor isn't totally level. it can be a real pain when it chucks it down but i guess as with everything in the country, we need to be preparer for the wet weather! there are plenty of dry areas for the ferrets to go to to get out of the wet twice a week we lift the hutches and wash the mats down, this seems to help keep the dirt down to a minimum.

Hi there, after a few weeks of ghosting on the forum i thought i would join up and get the full experience My name is Alice, i am regularly joined by my Fiance Russell and our two dogs Jack and Grouse, we have recently taken on a private yard for my horses and after much suggestion ( read pestering) i agreed that the Hubby-to-be could get some ferrets. he had them many years ago when he lived in Cornwall and circumstances hadn't been right to have any more until we took on this place. so off i popped to eBay to find a nice little hutch for them, me being me did a bit of research and
