what do you guys think about me using this for my ferret to play in?

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.

Perfect, as long your ferret isn't a chewer. It's roomy...My cat loves it and I'm able to fit her litter box & food bowls inside if I need to keep her contained for a bit.

I think that using it for a ferret would be fine. I know my 3.8lb yorkie puppy loves it. It's pretty good size. I am able to fit her crate in there along with food and water & a puppy pad which works well when I'm working! It's definitely an awesome investment!

Did you end up using this for your ferrets? I was looking to get it for mine. I don't cage but I have a baby on the way so I need them to have a safe space.

I would say play with him or her with it. Take a string get him used to it.

My ferret bit through it, I'm assuming how big it is it might be able to but if it brings its spike out it could probably destroy it easily

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.

It should be plenty big enough for the dog, I use it for my ferrets and have found that it's depth provides plenty of space for both of them. The only thing is that it is easily chewed if the animal becomes bored

It would depend on how big your ferrets are but in my personal opinion no. I purchased several of these the 48 & 64 oz size and all were broken within 1 week except for 1 which came lopsided and broke the first day! These are junk!

It should work for ferrets. It will drip when it's new. Mine worked fine after several fills.

This is an awesome X-Pen and we have used it as a pen for our dogs and as a fence to keep them separated. If your ferret isn't a climber I suppose it would work? My kids had ferrets once and they climbed on everything so this wouldn't have worked to contain them.

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

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 would work...my chihuahua is about 6 pounds and he likes being in this. So it should be plenty of room for a ferret.

I think so...my son has two rats in rhis cage and so yes i think a young ferret will do well..:)

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

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

I am sorry, but I didn't even get the chance to try, due to not being able to put the frame together enough for the tray to even stay on. Now on the other hand I went to Petsmart and was able to find a "All Living Things LUXURY FERRET CAGE". Although it says ferret, it can home rats, and chinchillas, so it would most likely be safe for a hedgehog.

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...
