is the gate small enough so my ferret can not squeeze through

If a ferret is like a cat and can get its body through wherever it's head will fit then no it probably won't contain them...plus it is poorly made! Our's started loosing slats almost a soon as we put it up...none of them are glued in!

I think he could probably fit through. However, this product is absolute junk. The whole thing came apart. All of the slats fell out and it collapsed. Please do NOT buy it. It's a waste of your money and you'll regret it. Look for another gate.

No, not at all......and the quality is HORRIBLE...fell apart in just days....I should have taken the advise of a reviewer who reported that exactly

No, you would not be able to walk through it because there is a solid metal bar at the bottom of the gate that fits into the door track. If you tried stacking them the solid bar from the top gate would block your access.

I don't think so. There is a minimum thickness of the door in order to install the pet door.

We have miniature schnauzers who have no trouble at all--even the blind older one. The inside opening ended up about 4 inches above the floor level but outsidedrops down a little more due to a step. I hope this will help you. We really love this double door!

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.

The slats should be small enough to contain a ferret. It is only 24" high, so as long as you don't have a climber, this should contain a ferret. I use it for a tiny dog (3lbs at the time) and it worked perfectly.

Yes, there's a solid door that you can slide into place so they can't go in or out. It works very well.

Absolutely not. We just tried this gate but my 20 month old figured out how to get through the pet door within minutes. He had plenty of room to get through. It's also not secure when installed as a pressure gate.

abotu 1/2 inch i Keep a sugar glider in it she can't get through the bars, you will have no problem if you use it for a ferret...

I agree with the others. It's entirely too short for ferrets. They climb up my four foot cage, and this isn't more than a foot tall. They might be able to even hop out.

The gaps in the bars may be a little wide for a cat, offering the possibility of a stuck head or an outright failure to stop your cat from squeezing through. I would qualify my answer by saying that I have never tried using ours for a cat and that my experience is baby/toddler only. I'm just offering an opinion based on the spacing between the bars, which is wider than a normal tension mounted pet gate, of which we have 3.

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.

My hips are quite wide and I can get through. You can always go through by turning a bit to the side. I think a wider gate door wouldn't have enough stablity for a standard doorway sized opening. The side panels would be quite slim, but they are the ones the hold the pressure.

Yes, for now but my little dog was strong enough to get out of the little wired doors. My little chihuahua daschund mix is very nervous so she was frantic in there. If you secure the gates better it may work for you but don't forget, if you're not happy with it, YOU'll have to pay return postage which was going to cost me 60.00, Unless you by direct from Amazon

No. Gate works with tension. If not a straight tight fit it may not close properly.

No, I have a three year old tabby that can not get through the gate. We use the gate to keep the baby in and the cat out. so, it works well. I did not use the extension that came with the gate, so I can't speak to that configuration.

Yes, the gate has screws on both ends that extend out and applies pressure to hold it in place. Sounds bad and not sturdy but it's actually perfect for pets or kids without damaging the house. It also makes it easy to install almost anywhere.
