lifelong cumbrian 1,795 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 ferrets dont chew like rabbits, might have a good scratch, if theres a way out they'l find it. You could always line the shed with thin ply. Another tip is to put lino down in hutch's, sheds. The pee doesnt soak into the wood then and its piss easy to clean. If you get a shed and line it with ply i would do the cavity with polestyrene before you screw on the ply as it will make it warm in winter and cool in summer. Quote Link to post

smad04 0 Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Thanks for the tips purcell18 & lifelong cumbrian. Advice from people with experience will hopefully mean I don't make too many mistakes... *fingers crossed* Little jack - it does seem like a really nice area, close to calshot and lepe for fishing too. Will have to do the rounds with the farmers to see what land I can pick up, is always difficult starting from scratch so not holding out too much hope initially! Quote Link to post

tye 23 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 this is one that i built the other week as i needed a bigger hutch,with getting a couple of kits on. ive got a ramp going from one floor to the other with a panel that can block it up if neede to seperate the hob from the jills when in season. the hutch is now on legs which brings the bootom to about waist height to make it easier to clean out.

smad04 0 Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 The hutch looks really good, how many ferrets do you have in it? I was thinking of something similar but with just one level, but I mite do as you have done to allow separation if needed. Quote Link to post
BS40liam 203 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 What size is that black tubing you have in the hutch? I was gonna take some 3inch down pipe from work but thought it looked a bit small? Quote Link to post
