How does this compare to the Turtle tunnel made by Marshall's? (I have one ferret-no longer use cage. Apt is very small) Thanks for your input!

I have both, the turtle and the OctoPlay. My Ratties don't like the turtle but the love the Octoplay. I have purchased 3 over the last 2 years because they tend to shred things. I cut the head off the turtle because the opening was to small and gave it to my guinea pigs and they love it.

Perfect, as long your ferret isn't a chewer. It's roomy...My cat loves it and I'm able to fit her litter box & food bowls inside if I need to keep her contained for a bit.

We had a dwarf hamster in it and now a Syrain. We had a lot of attachment on it for climing and playing. Both did fine, although the dwarf had to have the tunnels flatter because he had a hard time climing initially. The wheel was fine for both. I had problems with the water bottles leaking eventually so bought another whole cage and hooked the two together using only one water bottle.

I think the wheel i got was called a silent spinner they're a bit pricy but they're safe for my rats and they're....SILENT! what a plus lol. Over all, this cage work great and both my rats live together more than comfortably in it, very spacious. There are a few kinks i had to work out. 1. It's made for birds, so the 4 doors on the front either have to be wired shut. Or you can bend the wires that allow it to slide up and down over the support wire to secure it, if you want i can send a pic of how we did it. 2. because it's made for birds, there is a slide out wire bottom which is bad for critter feet, so instead, we put the pan on top of the wire bottom. 3. The pan isn't deep and allows bedding to fall out. To minimize it, we used cheep trim from home depot to build a barrier and keep the bedding in, bit there are many ways to fix that issue. 4. They didn't include all of the levels in the first shipment, but when i contacted them they send the last level to me free of shipment charge and were very polite about handling the problem. Like i said over all, it is a great cage and for the price, ya can't beat it. I searched everywhere and most cages like this go for no less than 200. It's also very sturdy. I don't know exactly what you mean by economical, but i Hope this helped. If you have anymore questions, my email is tori.andrez2607@gmail.com and id be happy to help

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

I have had several rats over the years and I would definitely recommend a bigger enclosure if they are more than a few months old or an older rat that needs smaller space to help getting around. Rats are very active and need quite a bit of space. If you are looking for a bigger enclosure I would recommend the petco rat manor habitat. They go on sale a lot, either here or on petco's webpage/store so its not that much more and way better. Warning though, as the cage ages the wire can pop up and be a little sharp, but its easy to fix, just bend down and put a small blanket on the wire and you are good to go.

Hi have both the playpen and tortoise house. I love them both. I would not recommend this for a leopard gecko. The screen holes are nearly an inch wide and your fella may escape. The bottom is open and he can dig under the sides. Also in the enclosed area the base is not attached and may also be an escape spot. Now if you took the time to replace the screen with a much smaller mesh, attached a board to the bottom and secured the enclosed area it would be fine. Question is-Does all that sound worth the price difference of another cage?

I have my Red Foot and Yellow Foot Tortoises on it, and my Wood Turtles and it works well. Must get the new version. The old version is terrible.

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 have a friend with a ferret and he tried the same thing and the ferret ended up going anywhere but where the powder was. He went back to using something he got at petsmart for hamsters, I don't remember what the product was though, sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Hi.. No it won't..it's actually smooth.. My ferret is also a digger and gets food all over. I've learned to only full the bowl up half way with either food or water. He still diggs but not as often., it's not as fun when there isn't a ton of food and water to fling out and about! Hope this helps.. D

what main housing unit?you can jsut buy the main unit. they sell individual tubes, windows, lock connects, and etc. i bought like 3 of theese already and habitrail tubes actually can hook on to penn play and crittertrail tubes. also they also might een hook onto crittertrail cages

In my opinion, I feel that this particular cage is too small for a ferret. I have 3 of these cages...one Degu in each. I feel that this cage is better suited to smaller animals.

For that price u can get a bigger cage used. Ferrets can get pretty long. It may feel crowded in here. If u put him/her in something of this size, try to let him out now and then (u can leave it in a room with no holes or dangerous furniture) so it can excercise. Check eBay, too. Good cage tho. Love the slide out bottom tray.

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.

I use this for two gerbils. They've never caught their feet on the platform but mice are smaller so I'm not sure about that. The cage part itself doesn't seem to get dirty at all but it can be a pain to take off to clean the aquarium.The platform always falls out. I've never been able to get the other platform to stay in either. Buuut it does give my gerbils more room and they always go up there so I think it was worth the price and hassel just to give them more room. And I keep their ceramic food bowl up there, I used little velcro circles on the bottom so they can't knock it down, so keeping the food out of their bedding is always a major plus for the cage.

do not buy this for ferrets it is terrible they can easily rip holes in the bottom it is flimsy and not worth the money, i had to repalce mine after two weeks, try this one best pet folding playpen, medium leopard skin byShips from and sold by Rowland Direct Wholesale. no zippers and it works great also very easy to clean
