I had a bag with a slip cord on it like the one in the picture. However, I could not keep it tight enough to prevent the ferrets from escaping. Personally, I think a zipper would be a better bet for this if used with ferrets. I know that I would never trust mine to remain in a bag with a pull-string on it.
