Guest vin Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 had mine 7-8 years so far and it's as good as the day I bought it. They do get sweaty, but if you put a few more holes in the top and even the lid they are fine....... they don't stink like those pissy old wooden boxes and they are easy to hose clean inside and out. They cost more than wood obviously. If I was starting out again and funds were low I would just buy a good strong well made wooden one. but I've had a few of the wooden ones in the past and they were so thin the ferrets chewed there way out.

Drill smaller holes on the top and I can honestly say I haven't had a problem...they're not in the box long enough to get wet matey. oh and Tomo won't go ferreting in the rain..he doesn't like getting his hair wet.
