I am looking to take a ferret play pen such as the marshall 11 panel ferret play pen and putting it around my ferret nation giving them a little play yard I am wondering if anyone has done this and if so how many play pens did you need I am thinking if I go around the back I will need two maybe or one and and add on....if I hook to the front corners I might need only one....if you have done this can you please share pictures thank you!

Before integrating, I had 2 Marshall 8 panel playpens around one of my ferret nation cages---just to keep one away from others at night (all my cages are permanently opened).
An eleven panel and an 8 should be fine. It is according to how big you want your play area.
With two eight panels i tried to divide a room and attach the ends on hooks into the walls. That was big no-no. My ferret wanted out so bad, she got her head caught between wall and playpen. There really should no more than 1 inch spacing in anything u rig up and should not flex from my experience
I was hunting for deals when I purchased the Super Pet Pet N' Play so I have a third 8 panel. it does have a little device on bottom that you can attach tunnels to. It is blue, and I got it from Walmarts online ---no shipping cost if you pick up at store. it will attach to marshalls and is built the same way on ends and 1 inch spacing between bars.
Sorry if unreadable before---looked like i had wrote that way past midnight, could have edited while on phone.

I plan on putting around the back of the ferret nation cage and then have it come out from the cage 3-4 feet or so just to give them some additional playing room when I am not able to chase them around this way they will be able to be out of the cage much more about 9-10 hours m-f and at least 19 hours on the weekend as long as i am awake they will be able to run around more.

IMG_6626IMG_6629 by debra watkins, on Flickr by debra watkins, on Flickr I went ahead and enclosed two eight panels to give you an idea. (lower part of FN 181 because abbey's knee would not let her climb ramps). So an 11 panel and an 8 will be bigger than this. Take 5 panels away from this, and you have a 11 panel area. It is going to tighten in pretty close.
