The Ferret Nation Club

[carmen holt]

u can do both ways lay on top of the shelves or like a pillow case i like the pillow case style so he cant chew on the plastic shelves

I still have a ton to do but at least (most of) the fleece stuff is done. In there is also a wooden house (under the bottom shelf), a wooden hay holder and that piece of wood on the top level is the start of a poo guard.

My dog likes the cage too, lol.

I just became a member of the ferret nation club yesterday, and oh my gosh the photos do not do justice to how big they really are!! It's like a massive chin mansion. I'm not completely done with mine yet because I'm still waiting for the fleece hammock set, but this is what I have so far.

I'm a newer chin mom and have only had my little guy for a little over a month now. My little Riki loves his FN 142 That I'm slowly adding more shelves and items to.

Here are some pictures of what I've done so far. I just added the wood shelving that I made over the weekend as a 1st birthday present. I made all of the fleece items myself as well.
I’m planning on get him a chin spin or flying saucer for Christmas.

The last picture of is of Riki after he exhausted himself after exploring and playing on his new shelves.

DON'T PAY 399! Goodness no, you are not being unreasonable! That is a complete rip off. I ordered mine from Ferret.com and the total after tax and shipping was 189. I was a bit wary of the shipping as well, but I got the cage 2 days after I ordered it. There were a few scuffs here and there, but overall the cage was in good shape.

It is also sometimes possible to find used ones at awesome prices on craigslist or the local newspaper. But by no means should you pay 400 dollars. No no no.

where do you get that litter pan??

Ebay store called Chinchilla-n-things. But they have a regular site to under the same name.

Pans

Hello all!
I was wondering if anyone on the forum knows of someone who supplies pans (or welds them) in the Midwest Illinois areas. Joliet, Tinley, Bloomington, etc.
thanks!
Jenny

Just recently bought my ferret nation for my little one. Set up was a nightmare but should be receiving my new toys/fleece liners soon! So excited to share pics. Mine is so bare right now

Here is my Critter Nation 162

 

[Annamageddon]

I've converted my closet into a place for the chin cage

 

[TashaR]

Excited to join the FN club!! Here is Oakley and Avalon, and their brand new cage.

We need to switch to fleece liners ASAP but buying the interior supplies wiped out the "fun" money for a few weeks.

I just ordered my FN182 today woohoo. I'm excited to decorate it for my little girl. Where are some good places to get hammocks and durable cage accessories?

 

[shieldmaidenjen]

Here's an updated shot of my Ferret Nation army! (Still decorating and have some new TOYS ordered! )

 

[Rini_San]

I'm so excited. My FN 182 model is on its way here ><!

Totoro is going to be very excited, he's upgrading from a feisty ferret. It's not a bad cage, but it is difficult to clean, and the doors don't open on both sides, making it difficult to put things in and take things out.

So for my 182 I've already ordered the metal pans. I'm going to try to find fleece for him first instead of using bedding. Then I need more wooden shelving, because the feisty ferret cage had all metal shelving so I never needed to replace them.

I can't wait to accessorize his cage and post pictures

 

[mrsmitchell]

Where are the extra deep pans from?

 

[Rini_San]

I finally got mine set up. I built the wooden shelving in it myself.

It's a little sparse at the moment, but I'm sure I'll fill it with hammocks and lots of stuff soon

My boys seem to love it at the moment.

I've had Luna's CN 162 for a while now but kept forgetting to take a pic after I cleaned. I was very lucky that I was able to get it from Craigslist for $100 and in excellent condition, they even helped me load it into my car! She has the entire cage to herself and is one spoiled little chinnie. Tonight I finally remembered to get a picture, so here is my baby's home!

(All of the fleece and the tube is from ChinChic, the hidey house in the top left is from jbcstratton, the custom cutout shelf in the top right is from Twilight Chinchillas, and there are wood chews from Ronda scattered around the cage that you can't see in the pic)

Since Luna tries to escape while I'm cleaning, she gets put into her travel cage so I can work without worrying about her getting out. As you can see, she's not too thrilled about that!

I don't know why she gets so mad. She knows that every time I clean her cage, I hide sticks and chunks of wood around her cage for her to destroy
