Providing them a place to enjoy and run out their energy in ways that complement their individual personalities is integral to everyone living their best lives.

Faith Keller is featuring two levels of her ferret cage. She decked out her ferrets’ digs in cozy fleece, fun hammocks and fluffy beds. Check out those ramp covers!
Jennifer and Debbie have a family of 16 ferrets that they call Ferret Street. About 3 years ago they got their first ferret, Navi, and immediately ran out the next day to get Nova. Ferret math happened big time, and they came up with the idea of creating a Disneyland for ferrets! Their now - 16 ferrets roam freely the basement when there is a human home, but stay in their cage while the humans go to work. Jennifer and Debbie built the cage up because they couldn’t build out. Tubes connect all levels, and there are cat trees that help them climb from level to level. Jennifer loves ferrets so much that she works as an animal care manager at PetCo so she can educate new ferrents! Wow, Jennifer. We love your story.
Corrinne Emily Pearce’s ferrets love to scratch their faces and lounge in hammocks. Corrinne introduced fake grass into her cage environments to give them plenty of opportunity to rub on the scruff. The fake grass is multipurpose and also provides a soft footing for their levels and ramps. What a good idea, Corrinne!
Cindy Grande has dedicated an entire room to her ferrets. She appreciates being able to give them the space to live happily amongst the humans in the house with tubes, tunnels and cozy coverings that they love. Both humans and ferrets benefit from the interaction.
