Ferretland... An outdoor recreational park for ferrets only. Probably the only thing like it for ferrets in the world and created from 5 years of hard work by the ferretguy and a bunch of volunteers. With a volcano that spouts water ten feet high and rivers running around it that are ferret shoulder deep, the water systems is powered by a 50,000 gallon swimming pool pump and filter that keep the water purity better that the local drinking water. It has a concrete mountain full of tunnels and hidy holes and a sandbox that is 1 1/2 ft deep and then bricked at the bottom. There are two feet deep concrete footings all the way around and a 2 1/2 ft high fence topped with pvc 4" tubing so the little rascals can't climb out. We put in a Fred Flintstone potty house and a lean-to for the volunteers who watch every one out there( we never leave them unattended outside) and also have three time-out cages for aggressive ferrets to go to and watch every one play while they sit and figure out how to be good. Somedays we have over 100 ferrets at a time in Ferretland and fun is had by all. We enjoy Ferret Fun Days one day each month when the weather is good. We are a mile high in altitude and therefore are blessed with NO fleas. We keep the spread of disease down by spraying the area with antibacterial and antiviral agents every nite after every one is out and in the morning, we wash it down with a 2100 psi pressure washer, which also causes us to have to paint it every month. We never lost or had a ferret hurt in Ferretland in all the years it's been open and we invite any and all to come with their fuzzies to come and play. There is no charge for this playground , but there are donation jars lurking around to help raise money for our shelter and keep Ferretland maintained.

For more questions you can call us at 303-343-6460 I hope BIG allows this as we don't intend this as an ad but an idea for others to maybe create their own outdoor playground in other areas.
