Ferret Master Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Yes I have a bowback one bought from the Pakefield Ferrets at a game fair. I line it with a mixture of sawdust and shredded paper. FM :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Master Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 It's completely unacceptable in my opinion to use a ferret bag rather than a box. It offers the poor ferrets no protection from cold frosty ground, wet muddy ground or size 11 feet standing on them. They deserve better.

Bigbob Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Far better with a box and you can use it to sit on and keep your backside off the wet grass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuck1 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 It's a box for me - my size tens wouls destroy several good workers in one clumsy stumble! Seriously, I think they deserve a good solid, weatherproof resting place. Ebay is a good bet, if you are handy (I'm not) make your own. Good for sitting on for a brew, and I've even seen fibreglass ones in the past, which would be nice and light, the perfect material in my eyes. I have no idea how you would go about making one from fibreglass though. (I bet, however, that someone who reads this will)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbob Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Go onto ebay and search for the ferret box company they make them and i think sell them on to the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevematthews79 Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 I'm not too got at DIY but I cobbled one together out of a piece of wood I found in my dads shed. 2 hours later I took it with pride to show my old man (1st thing I've made since woodwork at school). For some reason he wasn't too happy with it. Turns out I used a very expensive sheet of mahogany to make it! Did the job tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
