That's identical to what I have. I have a couple of two-storey hutches too but the large henhouse is brilliant. I made a few adjustments like adding extra clasps top and bottom of the large meshed door. Also added a latch on either side of the flap door on the nest box as the dogs would be able to lift it open causing a potential ferret escape. I have it sitting on concrete slabs and have added pipes etc.

sounds very good spudlington. how many ferrets do you keep in there.

also are the nest boxes warm and dry enough for the winter months or would i need better hutches in there.

The area that overhangs is supposed to be a laying box for hens so is partitioned off from rest of the box area. That's where the ferrets choose to sleep and I just have it packed with wood shavings. It's been fine for several winters but I've never had less than about 5 ferrets in there, might be colder with only one or two in there. I had a Jill with 10 kits in there, moved them in at around 6 weeks old and they thrived in it for months.  I fitted a small platform for a food bowl but you could add something larger to take advantage of the height.

thats looks great spudlington.

plenty of room for them to play and exercise.

How’re ye @spudlington,

I saw that you were selling ferrets a while back and was wondering if you breed/have any ferrets for sale.

If you do could you send a price list?

Cheers.
