is this a good cage for ferrets

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

No, this shouldn't be used as a home. This is a playpen - meaning, a safe play area for them when not in their cage. I reccomend the Ferret Nation cage. It's what I have for my 4 fuzzies and it's great! It's very large, and they love it!! It's so big that they have room to play in their cage and you won't feel bad if you have to skip taking them out for a day. This WILL work for a cage if you must, but you really oughta check out the Ferret Nation.As a playpen, this works great! My babies have it, but I'm gonna buy another one to connect as I only started out with 2, and now I have 4. :) No, this shouldn't be used as a home.

if you will use the cage for pet rats, get the critter nation cage NOT the ferret nation. The bar spacing is to wide on the ferret nation cage and they can get out depending on the size of the rat.

It is a nice cage if you make some modifications for dwarf hamsters. The wiring is close enough to prevent my Russian dwarf from escaping, but you will need to replace the hamster wheel with a solid wheel. I also removed the wire bottom and replaced it with bedding because her tiny feet slipped through and I backed the ladder with cardboard.

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.

the ferret nation is not good for rats. The bar spacing is to far apart and depending on the age and size of the rat, it may escape. You will need a critter nation cage for rats. I have the 2 story cage and I have 6 females in it. It works fine.

I don't think it would be too small for ferrets in my opinion.. It is plenty big enough for the Netherland Dwarf rabbit.

NO. For around the same price you can buy a bunny cage. My rats love the cage but my Ferrets seem to not like the levels or ramps so a bunny would hate it.

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!

I agree with the others. It's entirely too short for ferrets. They climb up my four foot cage, and this isn't more than a foot tall. They might be able to even hop out.

No...unless it's a baby. This cage is good for hamsters, gerbils, rats, etc., as long as they are adults. I had new hatch bantam chicks in mine, and the bar spacing was sufficient to keep those tiny birds inside.

It's very very small. We bought it for two guinea pigs and it's not large enough for them. I think a ferret could escape from it very easily. My opinion is no! Waste of $.

They would have a ton of room...but the bars are an inch wide so im not sure if that is too wide if they could squeeze through the bars but I know alot of people use it for rats. I have 3 full grown ferrets in mine with the addition and they have TONS of room..

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

TJ, I think it would work great, it even has locking clasps on each end where the zippers meet. I would feel confident using it for your ferrets. Take care, Cindy

We use it for 2 guinea pigs. I don't know much about ferrets. If a ferret climbs, it will escape quite easily (no top to cage).

Rats are extremely smart so this cage will probably not do. My ferret can open the door now so we have to set a weight in from of it now. I can also imagine a rat maneuvering the removable tray or even chewing through it to escape.
