Would a ferret claw through the mesh?
1267803
I use mine for my Bearded Dragon. He is huge (almost 2 lbs. 22 inches long) he has sharp claws and it has never torn, even though he climbs to the top sometimes. I don't know much about ferret claws, but I don't think a puppy or cat could claw through it. One thing I will say about this, I bought one that was less expensive and the zippers were terrible. The zippers on this one are fantastic. They don't stick and they have never come undone even with the amount of zipping I do.

I returned it , never use it, and still have not receive my refund from this store.

Well my lab puppy couldn't no experience of ferrets but she outgrew it by age 18 weeks thereafter it became a play pen. Best to ask manufacturer,

my guys are old but a young ferret may get through mesh if left unattended its not a cage just a play pen.

I think a ferret could squeeze through the bars. If not able to squeeze through, they could easily climb over. My neighbor's ferret squeezed through my fence which is pretty close to the same width as this pen.

Yes that would work my puppies nails get caught in the mesh would probably get caught worse for kittens.

Actually I feel ferrets would love this. The entrance and exit holes are too small for my cat, I just got it for the ball play toy. If you ferrets don't like to eat fuzzy carpet this should work great....in my humble opinion. MMiller

Not that I can see. But the could tear the mesh with their nails. My cat tried to bite the mesh but has had no luck in tearing it.So I believe it is safe.

Not sure, we use for large and small crate trained dogs. Good quality, don't know much about ferrets, sorry!

If a ferret is like a cat and can get its body through wherever it's head will fit then no it probably won't contain them...plus it is poorly made! Our's started loosing slats almost a soon as we put it up...none of them are glued in!

Our cat is de-clawed on the front paws. I believe the mesh is strong enough. Our cat has learned to open the zipper with his teeth however,

I love this bag. I have a 8 lb toy fox terrier and she does have enough room to turn around in it. It has a zipper top along with a Velcro strip and a clip to snap it shut for reinforcement so a dog or in your case, a ferret should not be able to open it.

I don't think so. Are they capable of wriggling through areas or chewing anything. I know nada about iguanas. You could cover the ribs with fencing like chicken wire to make it more secure (over the mesh). Sections can be easily attached with plastic ties to each other and the rib sections. The only thing is unless they "come" when needed, it might make a stretch getting him out. But I always believe anything can be adapted. I bet your pet would love it if adapted. I must warn you that sun does rot the mesh eventually. At this point, I have covered the ribs with more wire fencing to make it secure for the kitties. Hope this helps. I don't think so.

I think it will work for the ferrets but they may chew through it.. but they are maybe a inch apart..

Can't rodents chew through anything that isn't metal? Actually, they would REALLY have to work at it. I don't see them getting through it, but anything is possible.

So if you reinforce the levels with zip ties I'm confident that it would I have three rats who go crazy in that cage and the levels are secured with zip ties, I know ferrets weight a bit more, and a anatomically different. I use fleece rectangles on the levels for cushion, from arts an crafts store ( just cut it up ). I am not sure how active your critters are but mine wrestle and play like crazy and they are fine

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'm guessing probably by a ferret, not sure about a rat. Maybe too high for the rat to use.

I loved this cage for my ferrets. I only had two of them and it worked great. I know that rats chew quite a bit, and wonder if they would chew on the plastic parts. Aside from that it should work great for one or two.

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.
