Answer 1

In my opinion and many other the Ferret Nation cage is the worlds best ferret cage.

PROS:

It is roomy

You can buy an add on unit to make it a 3 foom cage (called the FN143)

Has wide shelves (The widest from any cage I have ever seen)

Easy to clean

Fun to customize

Makes your ferrets healthy from a peace of mind

Won't break

Lasts for YEARS

Has wheels that lock in place

Has a place to store ferret stuff on the bottom

You can also put stuff on top

You can put the ramp up between the 2 rooms if you have to separate your ferrets for any reason like I did when I got my kit and had to switch him from Marshall's to the ferret store original formula. I didn't want the girls eatin his yucky Marshall's

Only one CON:

Price....But if you put into consideration that in a FN 142 model you can comfortably fit 3 ferrets (not recommended for more than 3) and how happy it will make your ferret than price is no matter. I got my cage with my ferret for $250

you can get one brand new at http://www.ferret.com/item/ferret-nation... for only 206.98 shipping included.

You can buy one on ebay for $149.95 shipping not included this link may be out of date by the time you read this post but just type in ferret nation and a new cage will pop up. Don't get the 141 model that is made to house one ferret get the 142. Now this seller always sells ferret nations so there will always be a new link.

Here are pictures of MY cage (with my new custom bedding set)(This is my thread on a forum I am on)

http://holisticferret.proboards80.com/in...

http://www.creationsbyangie.com/ this is where I got my bedding set from. She does a really great job and it was pretty cheap compared to other custom bedding places. Plus all procedes go to help shelter ferrets or to foster ferrets.

Those cheap plastic cages I have heard many people say they are VERY hard to clean and some of them you cannot fit a decent litterbox in them. They are also not sturdy.

Answer 2

Ferret Nations are the best cages.

Here is a website if you're interested that has the best prices on the net. It shows the cages, prices, and reviews.

Sorry it doesn't exactly answer your question but don't settle for overpriced c**p.

You can also add on to these up to 3 levels I believe, if you get more ferrets.

Even if you don't want a Ferret Nation, these cages are better priced and the site has most of the ones you listed.

Answer 3

i think i'd go with the second one, for the same reason as your first reply. It's very large and only an extra 10$. Plus if you get two they'll be very cozy.

Answer 4

I've had the first cage, it's  absolutely great!

I would get the first one, it's a great size.

I have 3 ferrets, and all three fit in it comfortably and there was still alot of room to spare.

The only downside to this cage is the ramps can be a little difficult and slippery for ferrets to climb, but my ferrets got used to it after about a day. + the other cage you have had the same kind of ramps, so they should be fine :]

Answer 5

The biggest and most durable one is best... I likes the first one...  

Answer 6

Ferret Nations are much better.  

Answer 7

If you get another ferret I would get the second one. But if you want to just have one I would get the first one. Its like the one I just bought my ferret and he loves it.

Good luck..  

Answer 8

WELL I HAVE RAISED FERRETS FOR THE LAST 30YEARS AND THE BEST CAGE IS WHAT I HAVE FOR MINE IT IS A 3 SYORY CONDO IT HAS HAMICKS, HOUSES ,TOYS LADDERS AND HIDEOUTS IT COSTS ABOUT $ 400 BUT IT WILL HOUSE TWO OR FOUR FERRETS YOU CAN ALSO FIND THEM ON THE MONTREALCLASSIFIES.COM I HOPE THIS HELPS .

Answer 9

I would get the second cage in additional details.  Its huge and is only ten dollars more than the first one.
