my new setup

[jenksi87 3]

well, it took me ages and i know its a bodge up but heres a couple of pics of the setup i have for my ferrets. ive joined it on to my dog run as a kind of extension, with one side made of mposts and mesh so they keep in regular contact with each other. (should help with breaking my new dog to them when i get it)

done it on 2 levels with a carpeted ramp and a hatch that i can shut off if i need to seperate them. ive used a recycling box for there nest box (still need another for the lower half).

still need to get a few more things in there for them to play with but they love the little hammock i made them with some cup hooks and an old t-shirt.

i feel sorry for my new hob though now with his small hutch all on his own, so i will put his pic up first

lol. waste not want not mate at it does as good a job as anything else tried to keep the cost down. think all in all it cost me about £50 to build the dog run and the ferret hutch

nice looking hutch, although Id add more woodchip to the floor, and loose the carpet on the ramp, they will climb a wood ramp easy, or use some of your corrigated tubing, a ferret could all too easily catch a claw on the fibres in carpet and rip a claw off,
