Is it completely enclosed? Even on top? I'd like to use it for ferrets, but I'm worried they'll find a way out.

Did you end up using this for your ferrets? I was looking to get it for mine. I don't cage but I have a baby on the way so I need them to have a safe space.

I would think ferrets would figure out how to open the zippers, as there is a tiny opening that could potentially be conquered by such an animal.

The top zips completely closed. The only issue I had was that my pup would try to escape by jumping up and her claws would get caught in the netting.

Not silly at all. Yes, it's a fully enclosed bottom. The blue part is the tag, it's full behind it.

I have a ferret (not in this cage) and we have two pet dumbo rats in this cage. This cage would be suitable for young ferret, however, it would not provide sufficient space as the ferret grows. Will it "fit"? Sure! But it will not have adequate space. On the other hand - as someone else mentioned - if you will provide the ferret with a lot of "out of cage" play time, it would be okay for overnights only. Our ferrets have always had the run of the (ferret proofed, of course!) house. Good luck with your ferret! They are the BEST pets!

Bottom is vinyl and attached, has two doors , top totally zips off. waterproof on bottom only. I have a jumper who continually bops his head on the top and it closes in a couple sides. if I'm gone too long I'll find him underneath it all but it doesn't hurt him. E

absolutely not... They will get out by climbing over it or knocking it down in less than 3 seconds... It good for nothing more than animals like hamsters... a ferret is way too big and can climb ~mark tahiliani

It definitely can contain a Guinea Pig's ferocity. ;-) You can't pick the cage up from the top half. The latches keep the wired top in place but aren't strong enough to secure the bottom part if you lift it. I pick it up from the bottom or slide it around. It's very easy to clean. Lift off the top half to dump, clean and add new bedding.

They are about an inch apart. I had a ferret and he wasn't able to squeeze through. This cage is very durable, easy to clean, and you have options to move the levels in different ways. I really liked it. I think sid liked it too :)

I use it for my chihuahua. I just measured the space between the bars for you. The space is 3 1/2 centimeters between almost all of the bars. However, it is just under 4 1/2 centimeters on the upper corner bar areas. This may be a consideration if your ferret can climb to the top bars. I'm not sure how small of spaces ferrets can squeeze through.

Its not as big as it looks. My cat loves the carpet cover, but she is just a little too big to get inside. I kept it because I cannot carry it back to the post office and if she enjoys part of it, thats better than ignoring it. Im not sure how big your ferrets are, but they might like it. Im not really knowledgeable about them. The kitten on top tho, I missed that.

Top is not removable and is a main component of how the cage goes together. Would not suggest removing it on a regular basis. Cage has two small access doors and two openings for food/water bowls

If it is a small small dog because of the openings designed for the flexible tube. Ferrets & hamsters can squeeze through opening without the tube attached, but I would be careful about larger animals getting their neck or bodies caught in opening

Easily for 2 ferrets. It's very spacious. I have 2 hammocks and a igloo in mine and I only have 1 ferret. It's way to big for just 1 in my opinion. Only downfall is the litter land. My ferret is a punk and liked to move it and relieve himself outside it. I used a couple twistie toes from the grocery store to secure it and that taught him it wouldn't move. Took only a month and now I don't use them anymore. This is an amazing home for rodents. Highly recommend it.

it is small and the bottom of the cage is wire, not flat, so it might hurt their feet and they might slip through it and get stuck. I used it for a ferret and realized shortly after buying it, it was too small and he became a free-range ferret, which was horrible for my carpet. oh well, he has a nice free life at least.

I wouldn't say it's required, and you can leave it out, it just slides in and out. However, it really depends on the size of the animal and how small they can flatten themselves or if they can push the drawer out. If you leave the "grid" out, you have a gap that a rat or possibly a ferret could squeeze out through. My chinchilla probably couldn't but I wouldn't risk it. I actually like the grid because it allows food, urine and feces to go through and you can just slide out the "drawer" to empty the bedding. I have both a corner litter tray and bedding in the bottom of the cage and haven't seen any downside to the grid. :) I wouldn't say it's required, and you can leave it out, it just slides in and out.

openings are 1.5 inches wide by 2 inches tall diamond shaped. I don't think a full sized ferret could fit through them

No, I leave my 3 ferrets in there all the time, and even the craftiest ferret cannot escape...UNLESS you have one of those plastic igloos or something...they will move the igloo to the side and jump on top and jump up, then grab the very top, and use their ferret super strength to pull themselves over. Then they will get into EVERYTHING and hide it!

The space between the bars is about 1.5 inches wide. Also, not sure if your ferrets can climb, but there is no top on the playpen.
