I want a stroller for my ferrets. They weigh around 2 to 3lbs each. Since ferrets are escape artist are there any gaps they could squeeze out of?

I put my cats in there and they hated it. So I'm reasonably certain if there was a way out, they would have found it. As far as I can tell there are not holes, gaps or any slits for escape. It was so easy to push around also.

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.

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 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!

I would think not. The ramps and floors are not very strong. Works well for my gerbils, but they do knock off the ramps often. When washing, the floors fall off easy, although when attached to the tank, they seem to hold up. I do not know how much ferrets weigh, but I am sure they are much heavier than gerbils. The ramps are narrow also. I would look for something made for ferrets. Hope this helps.

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'd say barely. Definitely without the wheel, and certainly for only one ferret.

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 :)

Absolutely. My niece (4 years old) gets in with my two dogs 11 lbs & 23 lbs. It is a GREAT stroller. Very very smooth to drive. Enjoy.

I think it would work...my chihuahua is about 6 pounds and he likes being in this. So it should be plenty of room for a ferret.

I've had ferrets before and I can promise you that your ferret will "ferret" out of it in no time. Their sharp teeth and claws will tear through the plastic and netting. You would need something solid to enclose a ferret and this is soft, making it easy to fold up and keep in it's convenient travel case.

Not sure. We use it for rats and when left unattended have no problem climbing out. I'd think a ferret could also get out.

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!

My pug is 24 pounds and 2 yorkies 5 pounds each had all three in the stroller and no problem. It is a little crowded for three dogs but for a short distance it works.

My ferret has broken out of the cage. She broke the bars by grabbing on to them with her teeth and pulling. She is a lot bigger than a hamster but I would image if she could get out a small hamster could too

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!

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.

My dog is about 13 pounds and I could probably get 2 of him in the stroller without them being smushed. Your 4 would be possible but it would be really really tight!
