f you’ve ever visited a really nice, big, well-maintained zoo you know that presentation means a lot. When animals can be housed in a near replica of their natural habitats it adds so much more to the experience... For the viewers and animals alike. Let’s face it -- these creatures are captive. But that doesn’t mean they can’t be comfortable and happy in their surroundings. If you keep ferrets as pets your choice of ferret cages will greatly affect that experience too.
Maybe you’ve also had the displeasure of visiting a zoo with lower standards of up keep and ’presentation’. Maybe it’s a bare-bones cage so small the animal within barely has room to turn around (or even a larger enclosure that just holds too many occupants). You know these animals are not as happy (or healthy) as their counterparts who have ample or even ’plush’ accommodations.
It’s exactly the same for your personal pet, just on a reduced scale. Being as adventurous and inquisitive as they are, ferrets need supervision when out and about and, when this supervision isn’t available they need to be safely housed in an appropriate enclosure. Providing the proper cage will be beneficial to everyone’s well-being... Yours and your pet’s.
Finding a domicile for your pet ferret is easy enough. They’re all over the Internet, for example, and come in every size, shape and style. Some might be tempted to ’make do’ with a piece of equipment not especially designed for this purpose. A used aquarium, for example, found at a garage sale might be a good alternative (at least in theory). This is not a good idea for multiple reasons.
The best advice here is to GO through the trouble and expense of getting a piece of equipment designed expressly for ferret use. If you get a good cage it will be a one-time purchase that can return long years of convenience and function for both you and your furry friend. Ferrets are active, fast moving critters and they need lots of room to play (even while in their cage). In this case, bigger is better and TOO big isn’t really a problem. Too SMALL, however, is a big problem and most unfair to the pet.
To house a single animal, cage size should be at least two feet square and three feet tall. This is as a minimum but remember, bigger is better. The more room your critter has to romp around the happier he’ll be. There are hundreds upon hundreds of different models of cages available and, being designed specifically for this type of animal, most are built with his habits and natural tendencies in mind.
A ferret cage should have adequate ventilation and needs plenty of airflow (one reason aquariums don’t work well). The typical material of choice for cage construction is wire and this is best. Some will incorporate the use of plastics but these should be a type that can’t be chewed or ingested by the occupant. Every size, style, shape and price is readily available... From a single story (ranch style) to a five-story ’high-rise’ (and every configuration in between).
Ferret cages that provide lots of room for the animals to actively ’be themselves’ are preferred. Distractions such as toys and obstacles will provide more fun for your pet and more entertainment for you. It’s definitely worth the time and trouble of finding just the right cage!
