Choosing the right ferret cage will help your ferret lead a healthy, happy life and may help you avoid behavioral problems down the line. Whether you're looking for an indoor ferret cage or an outdoor ferret cage for your little buddy, Chewy has a great selection of ferret abodes for you to choose from. Learn about some of the things you should consider to help you pick out just the right one.
The ideal cage for one ferret should have room for sleeping, eating and playing as well as a litter box area. Wire cages with the bars no more than an inch apart are recommended, as is a solid bottom to hold bedding and provide comfortable footing for your ferret. Larger is always better but giving your ferret time outside the cage will be very important for mental health and exercise, too.
For two or more ferrets, a large ferret cage will be in order, preferably one with multiple levels so your ferrets have room to frolic and get some privacy when they need it. Multi-level cages will usually feature platforms or shelves as well as ramps to access the different levels. This greatly increases the amount of space your ferrets have to run around in and also creates more opportunities for seclusion and rest.
Once you've decided on the perfect habitat, you'll need some basic ferret supplies to get it outfitted and ready to go. Check out our great selection of ferret water bottles and feeders, bowls and litter boxes, and consider picking up some washable ferret liners for the pans, platforms and ramps in your cage, too. You'll also want comfy ferret bedding, ferret toys and ferret treats to create a welcoming home for your pets. You'll find a great selection and great deals on all of it in the small pet supplies section of our site. And no matter what type of ferret cage you need, we have the perfect one for your pets at Chewy.com!
Ferrets need a cage that is a large enough size for adequate exercise, rest and play. When it comes to ferret cages, bigger is usually better, so try to get the largest cage you can. A good rule of thumb is to allow at least 2.5 cubic feet per ferret. For multiple ferrets, you should try to size up as much as possible. Ferrets do well in multilevel cages, so you can choose a cage with more vertical height to provide adequate space without taking up too much floor space.
You can put more than one ferret in a cage, as ferrets tend to do well in pairs or groups. Ferrets are very social pets and love having companions to play with. Just be sure to get a big enough ferret cage so your furry friends have enough room to stay stimulated and active.
The best ferret cages are multilevel habitats with good ventilation and sturdy construction. Cages with lots of ramps and platforms are great for ferrets, who love to climb, play and relax in a varied environment. Ferrets like to chew and they are very good at escaping, so wire cages with securely latching doors are recommended. Choose a cage with a removable solid tray at the bottom; it will be easier on your ferret's feet than wire and make cleaning your ferret's bedding convenient and easy.
Set up ferret cages by putting essentials for food, water, sleep, play and elimination throughout. You'll need accessories like ferret water bottles and feeding bowls as well as one or more litter boxes, depending on how many ferrets you have. You'll also want to provide fresh ferret bedding at the bottom, a ferret hideout, bed or tunnel; or all three; and lots of toys for your ferrets to play with. A well-appointed ferret cage and lots of quality time outside of it will help your ferrets lead happy, active and healthy lives.
