I am looking for a good escape proof travel bag for a ferret for a car trip. He is a smaller ferret about 2.5 pounds. Is this roomy for him and escape proof?

I love this bag. I have a 8 lb toy fox terrier and she does have enough room to turn around in it. It has a zipper top along with a Velcro strip and a clip to snap it shut for reinforcement so a dog or in your case, a ferret should not be able to open 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.

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

Yes, it's big enough for now, but once your ferret grows to maturity (and it doesn't take long) the cage will seem small. You'd be better off investing in a larger cage right away.

I purchased this for our guinea pig & it is a pretty good size for her, but I don't think it would provide ample room for a ferret who require more exercise than a g.p. Also, I'd be a little concerned about the stability of it for a ferret...

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).

I. Not sure I returned this because it was very narrow, bought it for my 3 pound ferret and it seem big enough ... It is really well made though

small! If your ferrets are 1-2lbs, then they'll fit okay, but our 4-5lb guys won't go in unless they're looking for a wrestling match.

For short trips, this carrier would be fine. I would be concerned that he would chew his way through the bottom of the door if he can get his teeth through one of the holes. You could paint the chew spots with hot sauce, if you think that would deter him.

Yes I don't think its safe for little ferrets -- get one that tells you its safe for ferrets and no escape hatches -- keep searching on the internet maybe you'll find a stroller safe for the little babies. Good luck -- maybe you could ask another ferret owner or a veterinarian.

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 $.

Yes, it's small enough that a ferret won't squeeze through, but a hamster very likely could. There is almost a full inch of space between the vertical bars.

I loved this cage for my ferrets. I only had two of them and it worked great. I know that rats chew quite a bit, and wonder if they would chew on the plastic parts. Aside from that it should work great for one or two.

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 used the case for my 17pound dog and found the zipper to not be strong enough for me to let it out of my site.i would ask airline if you have that ?.good luck

Our dog is a Boston Terrier/Mini Schnauzer mix and we flew with him in this bag when he was a puppy at 12 lbs & he fit perfect! He had enough room to turn around in the carrier and could lay down comfortably! Hope that helps you and safe travels!

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!

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.
