making a quad ferret box

[THE GRIFF 8]

I am wanting to make a quad ferret box, with 4 compartments to fit a ferret in each for those days when i will need more than 2 ferrets.

 

What size would you recomend each compartment to be, I thought 10 inch deep by 8 inch wide by 8 inch high, but this will still make the box 32 inch's long.

 

What do you think about 8 inch high 10 inch deep and 7 inch wide, making it 28 inches in length, do you think these compartments are too small?

Why do you need to seperate them If they all live and sleep together why seperate

I prefer to have them seperate so that I can easily get which one out I choose and also so that they have there own space, but not too large so that they get knocked about.(just my preferance, I am not saying keeping 2 in one larger compartment is wrong, its just the way I like to work)

 

After thinking about it a bit more I have decided to just make another double box and if I need more than 2 ferrets I can just take 2 boxes(theres always at least 2 or 3 uf us when I go out so carrying them wont be a problem)

I always go for 8 x 8 x 8 or larger for each compartment. The height could be dropped to 6" but wouldn't like to see the width of length any smaller. Personally I would make a double box w:20 d:10 h:8 and put 2 jill ferrets in each side.
