No, this shouldn't be used as a home. This is a playpen - meaning, a safe play area for them when not in their cage. I reccomend the Ferret Nation cage. It's what I have for my 4 fuzzies and it's great! It's very large, and they love it!! It's so big that they have room to play in their cage and you won't feel bad if you have to skip taking them out for a day. This WILL work for a cage if you must, but you really oughta check out the Ferret Nation.As a playpen, this works great! My babies have it, but I'm gonna buy another one to connect as I only started out with 2, and now I have 4. :) No, this shouldn't be used as a home.

This will work as a play area. Get the mat that fits on top or bottom to protect the lil guy from the Great Escape. Our rabbit jumped right out and took off. The Play Pen is easy for the animals to move, also.

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).

Absolutely. Make sure to get this one, the critter nation, and not the ferret nation though. This would be a perfect sugar glider cage.

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

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.

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.

I think it will work for the ferrets but they may chew through it.. but they are maybe a inch apart..

Wld really have to see it! Might be a little big but maybe try because it's good to start it young! I bought forMy daughters ferret and she is a full grown ferrets but small!

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

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.

Should work fine, does help control odor and ferrets do sometimes have a strong smell.

I've no experience with ferrets, but I used it for my kitten after he was neutered and declawed. It worked, but I didn't love it, if that makes sense! It did help with urine smell though, so that's a plus. But my cat like to play with/chew on the pellets :/ Have you tried the shredded cardboard - that stuff was awesome when we had guinea pigs! Good luck!

Hi Mary May work. One thing though. The front lip is low so ferrets can back in. That's the way they do it. Funny to watch. They don't bury like cats so spillover isn't an issue (except when the litter is new and they decide it's fun to play in the litter). With cats, you may end up with litter spill out the front. Also, they may outgrow it soon.

I don't think it would work for a ferret. This is big around on my five pound chihuahua, although it is good in the length.

Rats are extremely smart so this cage will probably not do. My ferret can open the door now so we have to set a weight in from of it now. I can also imagine a rat maneuvering the removable tray or even chewing through it to escape.

I would say no. We had Guinea Pigs and they were a little bigger than my ferret. Plus a ferret naturally climbs through things. Not sure my guinea pigs would have done that. Buy a dryer hose and see if they climb through the hose. I hooked it up to an big empty box. Ferret loves slithering through it. I can only recommend Octo-Play for ferrets since I no longer have a guinea pig.

This cage is big...I think it's a little too big for a ferret. .. this cage fit my 2 labs and a zhitpoo...

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.
