Are those ramps slippery for ferrets to get up and down? It looks like there's not a lot of traction.

They have traction bars on them. And the angles are not steep. Unless they are completely wet, they're fine.

It's painted green and is slick, so I would think they would have to hang upside down to climb out to the end. We have not seen any squirrels on ours because there is no food out there for them to eat.

It retracts but not fully, I think my ferret likes it because is is somewhat transparent.

It's not very steep at all. I don't know much about the range of motion of either animal, or the traction capabilities. But the height of the shelf is not very high and the ramp is not very large. There are some gradual "steps" built into it too. We used the cage for a medium sized bunny and he did not need a ramp at all.

First let me say measure the height of bed and height of ramp. My bed is high and this ramp is high, also angle a bit too much for my 11 pound pekingese to grip, I changed to a longer ramp with less steep angle.as for rail, yes. I glued those grey foam pipe insulation forms fr hardware store to sides. Sammie is sight impaired and never fell off but did but slide down. I think higher stepping pups might prance and leap, tho my former dog never did.

A young one, it may be ok. A very active adult would cause it to tip over. Perfect for dainty birds. Not really strong enough for an active ferret.

There actually are spikes on the bottom of the mats, they appear to be somewhat short. And the following still applies, They have heavy ribbed areas, but some minor sliding will occur.

Rubber feet at the base of the ramp or maybe a soft plastic. For me it has never slipped. Just extend the ramp far enough so it is not real steep and the dogs will run up and down it. I steady the ramp in uneven areas.

I think so. It is a steep ramp. My bunny rarely goes up it. But it is definitely big enough.

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

I haven't noticed anyone having trouble sliding...it is not really fast but enough to have fun. The kids seem to enjoy it.

They are pretty rigid. Its a good product though. It might might be worth just getting some solid foam to strap down where needed.

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

I have one wheel towards the top and one in the middle. They use the top more often. Since they climb the cage the wheel is easily accessible to them from anywhere. Mine just jump onto the outside and go in for the middle one and I have a fleece rope by the top one they sometimes use, but more often just jump onto the outside first. They're very agile so it isn't a problem for them. Keep in mind they prefer to be high up by nature. They absolutely LOVE their wheels though.

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

The space between the bars is about 1.5 inches wide. Also, not sure if your ferrets can climb, but there is no top on the playpen.

I use it on a Hundai crossover & it's fairly steep. My 12 year old Samoyed goes up it, but slips on it & doesn't really like it. But it's easier than picking him up.
