whippet08 8 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 built some new hutches for my ferrets a month ago,but felt they needed a bit more,so over the weekend i put together this little enclousure for them to muck around in over the summer, whilst there not after rabbit,its all meshed underneath the chippings and brought up past the board with mesh all sides and top, dont look great but they like it heres a pic of it, and a couple of my ferrets in it, feel better now they can have some time in there, Quote Link to post

pencoed hunter 7 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Nice one. How do you get them in and out?? I'm going to start making my one this week hopefully Quote Link to post
Malt 379 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Looks good mate! I would advise checking the wire on the run after they've been in there. My mate had one like that, and after a while, the ferrets chewed though the chicken wire and legged it! They didn't get far though! Quote Link to post

Galvanised welded Mesh works well 20 pound a roll but .well worth it if you want to keep your ferrets Quote Link to post
