Has anyone tried this with ferrets? Or are the slits too big to where they would probably try to crawl in and get stuck?

No but I think they would love this toy. There is no way they could crawl in made quite well.

We have had ferrets and they are quite smart! I would take a small plastic slip tie and thread it around the holder which the bowl sits in then around a rung of their cage if the cage has a wire mesh to secure it. It would hold up quite well but attaching it to the cage would secure it. Hope that makes sense.

It is possible, however the bottom floor pieces kind of a support for the shape of the cage. And if the ferrets get to the drawer they can kick out the drawer and get out of the bottom of the cage. Or at least the small ones can. I would suggest leaving the bottom wire piece in because the drawer is meant for cleaning up things like food spills and for dander.

I'm not sure about Ferrets. But I own this and it is a playpen for my cat and he loves it!!! He will spend the whole day in it even with the doors open. I added a pet hammock and some soft stuff for the shelves and kitty heaven!

A ferret would never fit on that size. I can't see any of my ferrets using this no matter the size of it.

I don't have a ferret, but suspect that since they are quite weasley, it is possible for one to get out. There are mesh vents on 3 sides which could be chewed by a ferret. I would suggest a hard cat carrier with a metal door.

No. My grandchildren have two ferrets. They would climb right out. Need something with a top.

A large cat should fit through this . My cat can run through it with the ferret they both fit . =)

NO! Please search "ferret" and "supplies", or contact a local shelter who can put you in touch with other ferret owners and resources. If you read the information, you will see size of the parts - and if you know the size of a ferret, you will realize that this would be a dangerous combination.

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

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

I have never owned a ferret but I have had friends who did so I am familiar with their size. In my humble opinion this would be big enough. I have a very large male chinchilla. He is more wide than he is long. The very opposite of a ferret and he is able to fit through it just fine.

No, chinchillas are almost same if not bigger than ferrets, and there is no way she would be able to get through the wires. I have 1 ferret not (had 2 living in this cage), works out perfectly.

Watch out! I use mine for a playpen for my ferret, but she could easily get her head stuck between the bars. I had to lace edge clipper line in and out of each vertical bar overlapping in the middle of the bottom half to keep the bars from being pulled apart. The interlaced thick line added the strength it needed and worked like a charm. If you have an aggressive rabbit, it could get its head stuck too. I also stopped using the fabric floor, and picked up a piece of vinyl flooring. I cut flaps around the outside of the cage and bent them up around the bottom of the cage to form a lip and taped them together. That floor is great because it can be cleaned and is indestructible.

He will fit but the shelves are hard to clean and pretty flimsy. I had rats in it and had to remove all the shelves and just use hammocks and bird ladders. Rats like to climb-I don't know about ferrets.

Most likely. My ferret was 6 months old and could escape from it at first. Not gonna lie I pinned mine until he grew into it

Both the neck and girth straps are quite adjustable. I have used this harness on two ferrets, from about 3 months old, and only about a pound and a half. Now they are over a year old, fully grown, and they still fit well. Be aware, ferrets are incredibly flexible, and can back out of the harness if it's not super tight. I don't like to make them so tight, I just ensure that there is never tension on the leash to allow them to back out. Just keep slack in the leash, and they can't back out. It did take them a couple times to get used to them, but now they love it. I love these harnesses, better than any others I've seen. Both the neck and girth straps are quite adjustable.
