We offer you a step-by-step guide on how to make a cage for a ferret yourself . Immediately notice that this will be a suspension structure, which is distinguished by its lightness, functionality and economical use of space.
So, in order to build a homemade cage for the ferret, you will need:
- wooden bars of different sections;
- 10 mm plywood;
- an aviary lattice;
- platbands thin, for fixing the lattice;
- linoleum ;
- Espagnolettes;
- self-tapping screws and other small items.
- Based on the desired size of the cage for the ferret, you need to build a frame.
- Then, from the plywood, the floor is grounded for the second and first floors. The roof, too, needs to be cut from the plywood, leaving gaps in several places to insert the grid. This will make it possible to facilitate the construction and attach to the net various toys and hammocks for the pet.
- After this, the lateral and back walls are cut out, which are then attached to the appropriate places. You must remember to leave the entrance for the ferret. At the same stage, we cut out the doors, which also need to leave windows in order to be able to observe the animal. All holes are then tightened with a cage grating. The doors are fastened to the existing hinges, the bolt is bolted.
- Now it was time to think about how to equip the cage for the ferret. To do this, it is necessary to make a staircase between the floors, a rest house, build a climbing pipe, adapt a hammock and rugs from plywood and brusochki. Also do not forget about the arrangement of the toilet, feeders / drinking bowls, and other necessary things. Their set completely depends on the size of the cell. The climbing tube can be assembled from the usual plastic plumbing pipes.
It is likely that such "mansions" will not suit everyone. Their arrangement and construction will require quite a lot of time, and the appropriate tools. Also, before making a cage for the ferret, you need to make sure that the wooden elements of the base are even, because this will determine the final result and the complexity of obtaining it.
