Daveo 61 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I have a decent sized hutch and i have just aquired a rabbit run thats meshed on every side including floor. It was my mates and he kept rabbits init with no escapes Its made of standard chicken mesh not weld mesh. will it be strong enough to hold a couple of jills? I cant imagine a ferret biting through mesh but i thought id ask. Cheers Dave. Quote Link to post

paddy.t 5 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Ill be different then: Ive had mine 3 years with normal chicken wire on their run and never had an escape/bite through. Quote Link to post
ulverston moocher 60 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 When I started keeping ferrets a good few years ago I got a rabbit hutch that was meshed with chicken wire off some one, the day my new ferrets arrived I was made up the next morning they were gone they chewed straight threw the chicken wire but I got one back later that day and the outher three days later I wouldnt risk it bud just get some decent weld mesh and re do it and save your self the ball ache of looking for lost ferrets.
