thank you all! yes, they are real ones, 2 are cork (rather an expensive and questionable material because cork trees are over exploited, but with my ferrets at least those pieces have a long life), an other one is a log with a hole/tunnel in it, it was made on purpose for the ferrets and there is also a stem (behind the chair) we found in a forest, the wood was already in decomposition and had a beginning of a small hole in the middle... well now it is a tunnel, the ferrets worked hard to get a maximum of material out of it (I cannot recommend such a piece if you can't accept that it will be a mess for a while, I had small pieces of wood almost everywhere in my appartment...)

Oh wow is it real? The way the big log is wrinkled and folded it looked like it was made out of some sort of heavy material. That's cool. I bet they enjoy that!

I'm so jealous. I'm just getting started. The bf tells me I'm going to be a crazy ferret lady and I only have 2 (for now)! I take it as a compliment. I love it when my ferrets are happy and crazy

I also started with 2 homeless ferrets, more than 10 years ago, and it just evolved (ok, I have to admit, we have a lot of regulations about pet/animal-keeping here in Switzerland, so for legal ferret keeping a lot of space is required, giving them a room was the simplest solution...)

I really wish we could have that here. It would make SO much difference for so many animals.

I really have nothing against those regulations, it helps to prevent suffering. Sometimes it feels a bit frustrating to me, because it's all related to money, none of those licences/autorisations are for free

i hear ya fretki, the legal space to keep a ferret here is 5kvm per ferret >< nothing under a the size of room is acceptable really. My ferret I'm getting in the spring is going to have a whole room, and a cage for night time.

Today I spent most of the afternoon working both in the general ferret room and in the hob room. I took 2 ferret nations and put them together to create 2 single level cages. This will be more convenient for my wee jills. The next bank I took 2 FN and 1 critter nation and assembled these into a single bank of cages as well. Boris my heart boy can no longer climb up and down the the ramps so a single FN was rather cramped even though he only slept in there for 6 hrs during the night. A FN makes ultimate use of vertical space but when a ferret becomes ill and/or old the usable space for that ferret is limited. So by putting the 3 cages together, it gives him the ultimate space for the time that he has to spend in cage. While assembling the cage I did discover that the 182 was incompatible with the 142 for this type of assembly. ciao
