dogmad riley 1,337 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Pet carriers are as good as anything just let them out every now and then . But if they been worked they shouldget enough stimulation 1 Quote Link to post
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Cat box. And if your lucky the use of an empty, escape proof stable. If they`ve been grafting though, their usually happy with a bit of grub and a bit of kip. Quote Link to post
B.P.R 2,798 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I sold a couple of boxes to a mate at cost...a while back... perfect wooden boxes designed for transporting cats from cyprus... But i made a small..ish wooden box with a seperate sleeping area... and have kept them in that for 4 days with plenty of exercise and cleaning... Other than that,.. use a BIG cat carrier... Or... An old rat cage with a sleeping box... Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Those plastic cat boxes. . . . with the mesh at the front and a handle on top. If away working, all they want to do when in the box is sleep! 1 Quote Link to post
Polkey 70 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Im sure my mother in law has an old cat box, good idea! Quote Link to post
Joe67 239 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 as said above, got two cats here so ive used the plastic cat box when needed. does the job rakeaboot had a decent thing in the disco for ferrets, nothing fancy, gives them more space when traveling, not sure what it was though Quote Link to post
The one 8,398 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Got a big crate like a pigeon crate solid sides and a wire top with a sliding door if im taking all the ferrets i will use that till we get to the farm then put them in carry boxes as theres more room and they get more air in it but its about 4x2 so it takes up some room in the motor Quote Link to post
