to your question on how to build a ferret cage..... i have had my fuzzy friend for 2 years now. and for probably the first 6 months i had him he just had a very small ferret cage the one that you can buy at petco the starter kit one i think it is but for the first 6 months i had him he was hardly in it he was always with me wherever i was whether i was home or not he was with me! but then my mom moved me in with my aunts and needless to say they dont really like ferrets so he does not get out nearly as much and he used to. so the small cage was not going to cut it and on top of that he knew how to open the door. and can you image how bad that was waking up at 2 am with school the next morning because someone is screaming because the ferret is loose. hahahah. it was quite funny actually. well anyway i went to tractor supply and bought 2 medium size rabit cages and i took the bottom off the one and top off the other (really it comes so that you put the top and bottoms on so you just put the bottom on one and the top on the other) and then connect them and then i cut up the box that it was in and put them on the shelf things so his feet dont go through. and my aunt made a frame for me to put the cage on its just wood legs and a frame and then osb board with the cage sitting on top and then i set the self up so that there is one at the bottom and i put his litter box under it and then 2 in the middle level of the cage that make an "L" shape and then one on the upper level of the cage that is one the opposite side as the one on the bottom it worked pretty good for me. and then i had a probablem with him having accidents so i went to the tile flooring place and they gave me some linolium samples so thats in the bottom floor and on the middle level then for the second level and top i have little carpet from walmart but i had to velcro down because he thinks he needs to rearrange everything. i hope this helped and you understood it all im not the best at giving directions. good luck hope & nick With great power comes an even greater responsibility...
