Dameize 7 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) What do you guys think of my ferret hutch, its almost finished just needs painting etc. Do you think it will be a suitable size for 2x ferrets? its a decent size from viewing it in person. cheers. http://www.(!64.56:886/media/set/?set=a.10150331786415130.426343.694485129&l=bbfc355e50 sorry link didnt work, updated.

The one 8,592 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Its a unusual style mate Quote Link to post
Dameize 7 Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Its a unusual style mate lol the top hutch has a ribbed type of pipe into the bottom area. All up I think the bottom area is about 3.5ft - 4ft long and 2ft wide. the top is about 2ft wide and 2ft long. When I made it I though tit would be a good design as it would have its top area dry and out of the way and then if it wanted it could go and lounge in the more open bottom half. Quote Link to post

B.P.R 2,798 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Looks good mate. Is it staying indoors? Quote Link to post
Dameize 7 Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Looks good mate. Is it staying indoors? nah itl be outside but in a warmer corner. The lid on the bottom half is actually detachable and now has bolts to lock it in place and is completely felted. I imagine the ferret will be warm enough inside is sepperated for a bedding area. Now its finished ill have to take more pics. ill up them tomorrow Ive made it a little bridge system with a ramp and steps etc its not very high but should keep it entertained. Under neath the bridges is more tubing and on the back wall of the bottom half is a bit of guttering for it to climb in. Ive also got a hammock on the way so once its all set up the ferrets should be living the life of riley Quote Link to post
B.P.R 2,798 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Just seen the bottom door and thought that rain would get in but ifyouve felted it then that should be fine. Where did you get the mesh from? I need that stuff but about 3x longer and for 3 hutches Quote Link to post

He used to build trailers so i think its off when he did that. Quote Link to post

Where did you get the mesh from? I need that stuff but about 3x longer and for 3 hutches bit far for you to travel i would imagine but theres a tool jumble type sale at Rufforth(sp?) york 1st saterday of every month.. does alot of car and bike stuff... its like a mans car boot tool sale.. but there is a stall that sells metal mesh all different thickness's and sizes.. might be worth seeing if something like that happens near you theres alot of handy gear at them... next one is 2nd of July (my birthday! ) .. like i say its probably too far for you to travel and not worth the pennys in fuel though Quote Link to post
B.P.R 2,798 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Thanks mate. I'll have a look and see. Atb Quote Link to post

fcuktheban 140 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Your setup is similar to mine. I seen someone getting rid of kitchen cupboards and cabinets so I made an indoor enclosure for my jill and kits until they get bigger and moved to the court. I'll have to take a few pics.
