We have a couple of adult females who can fit through 1 square inch. 1.5
would be a breeze for them. If you have larger ferrets, go for it--but
folks with smallish jills, go with 1 inch or .5 inch square mesh. We
caught Gibber going through the holes in the baby gate, which were 1.5 x 1
inches, and oval. (Baby gate has now been replaced and the new one is
covered with sheet metal.)
Also, as far as rabbits and ferrets are concerned, I personally would
probably not combine them, simply because, to a ferret, a rabbit smells
like food. As do mice and birds. It's the same for cats; my cats have
never been trained to hunt, but they sure do know that my birds are food.
Some people have made the rabbit/ferret thing work, especially if they had
a VERY laid-back ferret and a largish bunny. I also know some folks who
have a rabbit that freaks out if they come near him after handling the
ferts--instinctive fear of their scent.
Only in our living rooms would two animals like rabbits and ferrets be
friends.
