Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 This is my set up... My Hob is in the double hutch on his own. I am getting him vasectomised this year and he will go in with the Jill's then but I will keep the hutch in case he needs some time away from them when they are in season. The breeze blocked area is about 6' x 4' and houses a Jill and 12 Kits. Being extended very soon to 8' x 5'. I'm keeping back a Sandy Jill and the smallest darkest Polecat Jill. I'm also having a Sandy Jill out of my mates litter which I may swap with a lad on here to bring in some new blood. Quote Link to post

sikastag_1 689 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I have an 8 foot long by 4 foot wide and 6 foot high court mate for my ferrets and in the summer the hobs go in separate hutches that are 4x2x2 while the Jill's stay in the court Quote Link to post

Lol. It isn't finished yet mate. It isn't cemented. Just placed. When I've got more blocks and extended it to the size I want then I will get it cemented and rendered by a mate. Smooth surfaces and painted floor will be easy to clean for sure. It beats cleaning a hutch every day let me tell you! Quote Link to post
