I've used the velcro and Marshall Farms "H" harnesses.  I don't really care
for then velcro ones.  I do like the MF ones.  I have a female +/- 1.5
pounds and a male +/- 3 pounds.  The MF harness is fully adjustable for
both.  I believe it will fit a female smaller than mine and I know it will
fit a bigger male.  The harnesses (all harnesses) have to be snug or the
ferrets will wriggle out of them.  I have had no problems with the MF
harnesses.  No escapes, freedom of movement, etc.
