king 11,663 Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 I'm wanting to build a large ferret court and open to ideas.the 1 I've got now is to small for my needs. So looking for some pics and ideas etc. I would like something similar to an aviary mainly mesh.but the sideways driving rain in winter is putting me off a bit. Quote Link to post
