Ferretboy111 Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Any hole, i mean any weak spot or anything that you find, make sure you fill them with something ferrets cant get into. They climb squeeze and dig. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They climb squeeze and dig. Alex Sorry to hijack this thread but... I'm planning on laying a concrete floor in our shed and then skinning the inside of the walls with OSB (Oriented Strand Board) which is 11mm thick. Is this suitable to stop them chewing heir way out? It has the same qualitites if not better than Plywood. thanks, /Mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferretboy111 Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Yeah should be fine i would of thought mate. Just make sure they have something like pipes, boxes etc to keep them busy so they dont want to chew. Non of mine have chewn through wood only plastic toys i give them.

Madcowz Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Mine use a cat litter tray. FM Do they tip it up and throw it all around the court or are they more restrained than that? /Mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferretboy111 Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 They will yes, on 1 of my hutches i screwed a cat litter tray in the corner, so much easier to clean and to retain the faeces. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
