Ferrets...what materials would i need?

Question

I am getting a few ferrets from an animal shelter, so I'm going to build an outdoor aviary for them, I will be providing a warm weather proof area for them. Does anyone know what type of chicken wire/mesh I could use which they wouldn't be able to bite through? And does anyone know any websites with instructions on how to build one for the ferrets?

Answer 1

I'm afraid puting these very delecet pets out side my not be a good I dear they cn and will get through ckicken wire and even will dig a tunnel under ground to get a way they burrow that is there need and what makes them happy. they are vary smart and will find a way out of everything you put them in. I had mine in a cage she would get out so we would put a paddle lock on the cage she found another way to escape :( It took me 3 days to find her I was glad she never made it out of the house. your best bet would to use wood give it a good polish so the can't give them selve slivers. as far as keeping them from digging there way out I don't know minehas always found a way.

Answer 2

there is a material called rabbit wire that is a very tough form of chicken wire with smaller holes designed to make rabbit pens. you can but it at any hardware store specifically Home Depot
