Has anyone gotten one of these for a ferret? I am looking for a carrier for my ferret, and want to make sure this would work well for her.

I got this from my ferret and it is working great for him he does like to chew on the sippers cause as a rubber casing on it some stitches come out from him scratching at it when I close it for a few minutes but if I keep it open he does not scratch at it he likes Pop his head out and look at everybody's I think this would work great for ferret but not for like of vet carrier in this works great for me bring him around town with me

Gosh, no..... We have a very small Terrier,...can't speak about using it for a ferret.

Yes, have used it for my 18lb fox/rat terrier. She got used to it and now I connect her leash to a hook inside and don't even snap the front cover down anymore leaving the front open. I put one of her dog beds inside and she curls up and enjoys the wind in her face and the sights as we move along. Before I made this purchase I read on line that many other people use these carriers for their dogs as well.

I really don't think they would work for a ferret. I've seen larger ones but they didn't look big enough either. I guess you could ask a fellow ferret owner to see if they had any luck using them. There might even be larger ones then I've seen. Good luck. If you find one that works I'm sure it'll enjoy using it.

I have a 10lbs jack Russell terrier. Yes, I would recommend this carrier! It is truly sturdy and to me it gets just as much ventilation as any other solid sided carrier! I love it!!! Hope it helps make your decision easier.

I use this for a ferret, so smaller amounts. We scoop out the 'stuff' every day, add as needed, and change once aweek. Jan K.

I loved this cage for my ferrets. I only had two of them and it worked great. I know that rats chew quite a bit, and wonder if they would chew on the plastic parts. Aside from that it should work great for one or two.

I think it's fairly easy. I used to have a very difficult cat who hated being placed in a carrier. While still tough it was possible to get her in. My other cat is difficult but not as difficult. He's a big kitty. While it still takes a little wrangling it's doable. I don't think there is a perfect carrier out there for those of us who have cats who are difficult to handle. I like this one though. Of course, I don't know how difficult your cat is compared to mine. You can always return it if it doesn't work out.

Both the neck and girth straps are quite adjustable. I have used this harness on two ferrets, from about 3 months old, and only about a pound and a half. Now they are over a year old, fully grown, and they still fit well. Be aware, ferrets are incredibly flexible, and can back out of the harness if it's not super tight. I don't like to make them so tight, I just ensure that there is never tension on the leash to allow them to back out. Just keep slack in the leash, and they can't back out. It did take them a couple times to get used to them, but now they love it. I love these harnesses, better than any others I've seen. Both the neck and girth straps are quite adjustable.

I have never owned a ferret but I have had friends who did so I am familiar with their size. In my humble opinion this would be big enough. I have a very large male chinchilla. He is more wide than he is long. The very opposite of a ferret and he is able to fit through it just fine.

Wld really have to see it! Might be a little big but maybe try because it's good to start it young! I bought forMy daughters ferret and she is a full grown ferrets but small!

I think it's a terrific carrier and would highly recommend it as far as being lightweight, durable, and safe. However, be sure to have a dark pillowcase or something to put over the carrier so that he cannot see out so that his stress levels are reduced.

I have a ferret (not in this cage) and we have two pet dumbo rats in this cage. This cage would be suitable for young ferret, however, it would not provide sufficient space as the ferret grows. Will it "fit"? Sure! But it will not have adequate space. On the other hand - as someone else mentioned - if you will provide the ferret with a lot of "out of cage" play time, it would be okay for overnights only. Our ferrets have always had the run of the (ferret proofed, of course!) house. Good luck with your ferret! They are the BEST pets!

The pet carrier we purchased has worked well for us. Our dog is 20 lbs.and we could have used a bigger one, but it works. We ride a trike and it straps on th carrier rack real good. We wish we could have gotten any colorbut black it is to hot.

I have a kitty also. I tried to put it on her but she didn't like it. Your kitty might like the back pack pack. Try it on her and walk around. I bought a pet stroller and Kitty likes being a passenger. Mozart, my part Boston Terrier and Chihuahua gets tired of the walk so I put him on top of the stroller. Kimmie:)

I don't have ferrets but I do have a dog and a cat. It shouldn't matter what type of animal you have, if you have fleas in your house this product works great! Fleas gravitate to the trap from within your house and off animal. Still use your recommended flea meds from the vet, this just catches the ones that are left. Put one in each room of house for optimal results. I have one in my living room and one in the bedroom.

I have never owned Ferrets before. But, this is a pretty big cage. I had 2 Rats in it with plenty of room. My guess is it would be big enough for one Ferret.

We have had ferrets and they are quite smart! I would take a small plastic slip tie and thread it around the holder which the bowl sits in then around a rung of their cage if the cage has a wire mesh to secure it. It would hold up quite well but attaching it to the cage would secure it. Hope that makes sense.
