I would be up for considering having my ferret(s) outside, but the landlords do not like that idea... which is a shame cause my balcony is essentially wasted space right now.

Lumene - a balcony would be a good place for an outside cage! Maybe the landlord might change his / her mind?

Rebel135 - Your lucky ferrets having a garden as a play yard! I would love to be able to let them run around free!

The landlords are adamant that nothing except balcony furniture is on the balcony, they check every couple months or so at random which is frustrating. Also, the cage can only be outside when I'm home, I don't want crazy people climbing up 3 balcony's to try and steal them (If I can climb up, some able bodied idiot definitely can).

That sucks about the balcony know the feeling though we used to live in a place like that but we found the place we are in now our land lord loves our pet the cat helps keep the squirrels down they have done a lot of damage to his building we live right in the heart of downtown and are very lucky to have a small fenced in garden of solid fence only way in is from the house.

Can you post up some pics of your outside play area? I want to make something for our guys and want to get some ideas.

Two ideas that may make the tube accessible for everyone are: 1. Make the support pillars taller several inches so that the long slope isn't so steep. The grade is shared the entire distance. You could even cut a new hole above the one that goes into the pen and spread the tube's slope out still more.
2. Put little crosswise slats on the floor of the tube so that the fuzzies have a better way to grip and pull themselves up or down the tube. Lowes sells cheap 1"x1/4" wooden trim that could be cut and stapled down easily.

We were seriously considering the second suggestion. I honestly think that would be the simplest measure. Digging in the area is quite difficult as that used to be an old river bed and there's a lot of rock, some of it quite large ciao

What an awesome outside play area. I love the huge walking tunnel. Very lucky ferrets.
