This is Tia's. It is a bit bare of toys but she doesn't play with them. She just loves running up and down stairs and playing in the potatoe bag! Weird ferret


This is Tia's indoor pen if someone comes to the door etc, I can just pop her in there and know she is safe.


The trio live in the other half of Tia's shed, waiting for my door to be finished so they are currently living in the hutch but get lot's of play time in the rest of there enclosure with all their toys.

That's prefect tapir the last pic is very much what we plan on doing once we have insulated the play house etc we will have a hutch one just as a bed. Then free range in the play house all day and hutch them at night maybe or even bring them in each night into a cage

Oh is thinking of working them aswell he did it years ago as a teenager

Thst sounds good but id advise on dont bring them in during the day as too much light can cause health problems, your better of keeping them to natural daylight.

Thanks DK. yep we tried tia with kit jills/hobs, same age jills/hob, aged jills/hobs, hated them all. I sent her to a rescue for two weeks to be paired up and she came back really p***** off Bless her.

Sounds great Daynna, your ferrets will be very lucky


Only just realised that mine and Tia's "rooms" are exactly the same colour

Awwww bless her, I had one like years ago she really hated other ferrets, it felt so mean but she was much happier on her own. My Tia is happy with her 7 Daughters when its their playtime its crazy lol, some kits love jumping on my shoulder, Tia loves to climb and explore and others love to hide!

Very nice, I've a corner going free in my garden bordered by fences to the side & rear. From when I owned a rabbit in my teens (now 39), I understood if making a hutch or pen to avoid treated timber, is there anything else I should avoid? Yes a trip to google too.

The question will be how will my 2 year old daughter get on with them

Hi Tapir

I like the decor of Tia's residence, much better tahn exposed wood. I very much like the painter ferret and paw stencils / images.

Did you make these yourself or source them from the internet? Just the sort of thing my daughter would love, though I'd rather spend time getting everything all ready and built in the summer ready for the ferrets then. Too close to christmas and dark early nowadays to go spending time in the gargen building a 5 star residence for two.
