HI
 
You might try calling a local shelter and see if you can borrow and
empty cage.
 
If you are sure the ferret is going to be a baby concisder getting the so
called 1 level supet pet hamster cage.  They are about $40 new and I find
they make a good "sick cage" when I have to isolate a ferret.  Check the
paper for used cages, try Thrift Stores, garage sales, and call the local
animal rescues and see if their thrift shops have cages.
 
Good Luck,
KG
