Question Ferret Hotel ( What Do You Think ) ???

Hi all , just wanted your valuable thoughts on an idea hubby and i came up with last night . we were thinking of setting up a puppy day care , and then also came up with the idea of a ferret holiday inn kinda thing , where we have say up to 4 ferts at any one time , while people went on holiday ? what are your thoughts on this do you think there could be any call for this ? , Now i was thinking as we only have Ted(fert )and lives in with us maybe he could join them from time to time too , making some kinda large play den outside with a large play area attached . if i advertised only social ferts, do you think i could house 4 together , that do not normally live together ??? , obviously introducing them carefully first , as these fets would be other peoples and leaving them in our care would hate for anything to go wrong . any ideas, suggestions , advise , tips would be great , as this would be a joint business for me and hubby so we can be , and work together , doing what we enjoy being around animals . Would be great to hear from you all.

Unless you are going to supervise them 24/7 I wouldn't keep them together, same for the dogs.

We board dogs and rabbits. Rabbits are never put together and I would never dream of leaving any of the dogs together when they weren't supervised, if I go out they are seperated into different rooms all with locks or handles turned upside down to avoid them opening the doors.

You cannot take risks with other peoples pets. The fact that you are even considering this concerns me!

Yeah i'd never let anyone put an "outsider" ferret with my own or anyone elses. Like someone wanted to breed my ferret with his but i said no because it wouldn't of been practical with 3 full males fighting.
