hi all im getting a pair of ferrets at the weekend im going to be housing them in a shed with mesh where the window was ive been looking for some every where but the stuff that i have seen seems to be a bit thin could any body recomend a good place to get some wire from and other ferret housing equipment

thanks for looking

hi mate welcome to the site if you got any building work going on round near you have a search round for the mesh fenching they use to surround site i think they call it harris fencing just get a panel of that and cut it down to size using wire snips or anlgle grinder if not just get yourself some chicken wire

would they be able to get through the harris fencing
and wouldnt they bite through chicken wire

the fencing on building sites is no good the holes are to big chicken wire is best but you have got to find the strong stuff or they will bite through it i lost a few that have bitten through chicken wire you can get it from dewsons but its not cheap

ahh i thought you wanted it as just a window guard, in that case get the strongest chicken wire you can get

if its just for the window it might be ok but is there anyway or anything that they can climb up to reach the wondow?

yes they would be able to get to the window
i carnt find any 1" x 1" but can get some 2" x 2"
would that be ok if not would it be ok if i put chicken wire over the mesh


thanks for the replies

2x2 would be to wide mate you could put a it on and put 2 layers of chicken mesh over it lol

you just need some heavy duty chicken wire i think its comes in different strenghts i got a load behind my shed you could have shame you dont live closer

you can get 1/2"x1/2" from B&Q they sell it by the piece or roll ,you can get a piece to fit your window space
