The Kaytee cage looks like a rodent cage they just made bigger, which is probably exactly what it is. Rodents tend to me more sure footed so that cage seems much better for them than ferrets.

I’ve had my Ferret Nation cage for ten years, and it is still going strong while it now houses my 2nd generation of fur babies. The best choice indeed!

[@mattm7798]

It's really just a very well designed cage and very well engineered that assembly is very easy and relatively quick. The FF cage feels like a company wanted to copy cage the FN cage but cut a bunch of corners, and arrive at a price point below the FN and above the Kaytee. I think the Kaytee is more suited for rodents than ferrets. Rodents seem much more sure footed and being smaller, just fit the cage better.

[@malpaw2371]

Ferret nation, ferrplast, and a great dane kennel with modifications are the only cages I’d use commercial. I personally just have a small plastic kaytee cage that I leave open so my free roam ferrets have a hammock and some sand to play in.

[@evepatel4095]

The double ferret nation is the best.I leave it open on the left bottom with a ramp so my pet can roam inside a gated ferret proofed diningroom,hallway,large bathroom area.I have to hurdle the gates but he loves the the variety of rooms.

[@MH-xm3jo]

We started our two ferrets with a Feisty Ferret cage. We covered the wire floors with washable bath mats from Walmart. The waterproof bottoms of the mats help with messes when our fuzzbutts miss the litter box, and the carpet adds coziness and warm! Plus, if the mats get too nasty to wash, they’re only six bucks to replace from Walmart! But however, as much as we enjoy our Feisty Ferret (especially for the price), we plan on upgrading to a Ferret Nation once we get a third!

[@TheModernFerret]

Wow that's a great idea! Thanks for sharing, it would be comfy too!

[@wolfshanze5980]

@@TheModernFerret The best way to deal with wire flooring is spend a few bucks at the hardware store and get some linoleum... it's easily custom cuttable waterproof and easily cleanable... having said that... no reason to get a Feisty Ferret cage when the Ferret Nation exists... but if you need to cover a wire floor, Linoleum is both cheap and VERY effective (I went through this process over the last 20 years of cage evolution before I settled on the Ferret Nation).

[@georgiana6598]

My ferret has chewed through these bars. Also the dangerous news of all of them are not worth the vet bills. You can get a ferret escape and I would hate to have my laddie in a bird cage as these look like. For £100 I will be building an 8 foot by 3 foot by 3 foot with wooden 2 by 2 frame, and a piece of hardboard with a lip and asphalt covered detachable roof. Very heavy and the bars are constructed by a dog playpen on Amazon uk which has a very strong thick covered wire that he will not ever chew through, it is my last attempt. Hammocks and ranps are needed as well as a small cat tree from Amazon uk And proper food tray and water tray with a dark area for sleeping. I have owned big polecat ferrets for 35 years. They are very dangerous and are extremely disruptive. I am in the UK. They can sink their teeth into you. Also, they are very vulnerable so you need them to be trained to toilet as kits ASAP. Use cat litter not paper. Linoleum they chew. Towels they chew, wood they chew, and constant cage rattling they do. Best in a shed at night and in a secure warm place. Having a ferret is hard on you and other pets. They need to enjoy running and destruction of everything. The constant cage bar scrabbling is highly annoying. Best outdoors,. Not really a good pet. Too much money these dangerous bird cages. And they do like being in a place to sleep which is as in a sturdy hutch box. Also cages like these, if other pets or children are about will cause them to be injured by say cats, and kids fingers through the bars. Or silly adults poking their fingers through. Ferrets on your video didn't seem at all able to navigate any of these so called interiors. Even the advocated expensive one.

[@fmeraz37]

Here is some additional info when it comes to prepping your home (and not just the cage) for the eventually arrival of a ferret living in it. Ferrets, being creatures with stubby legs and thus naturally have their noses so close to the ground (due to the evolution of mustelids being carnivorous hunters with sleek bodies designed to enter the narrow burrows of mice, rabbits, and other rodents), are susceptible to being triggered by pollen, micronized dead skin cells from humans/insects (i.e. dust), floor cleaners, microplastic particles, and bacteria that litter the floors of your home. Be wary that the owner's choice of deodorant, perfume, or shampoo (especially since many ferret owners are demographically female who are likely to use much more generous amounts of hair product compared to men), can drastically also affect a ferret's respiratory system. These risks, however, can be mitigated with proper household ventilation, HEPA air purifiers, dusting, and vacuuming. Their bedding is also an overlooked critical item, since ferrets sleep on it 16-20 hours a day, they spend 3/4ths of their entire lifespan coming into contact with the material their bedding is made out of. Ferrets are known to chew or eat their bedding when curious, bored, or nauseous, thus causing further nausea if the bedding contains synthetic fleece, plastics, hay, loose sawdust particulates, aspen or cedar wood shavings, or material laden with fragrances/perfumes. A ferret's blanketed sleeping area should be comprised of natural fibers such as organic cotton, alpaca fleece fur, natural silk, or wool (though their claws are susceptible to getting stuck in unkempt fibers or knitt-holes), with the rest of their cage lined with odor-free, non-toxic wood pellets or recycled paper product bedding. For a personal touch, ferrets who are close to their owners are sometimes able to sleep more peacefully when sleeping alongside an article of clothing laden with their owner's scent. Just be sure that the clothing is also non-perfumed/made of natural non-synthetic fibers as well. Many types of essential oils, such as eucalyptus oil, tea tree oil, cinnamon, citrus, oregano, clove, pennyroyal, peppermint, pine, sweet birch, wintergreen, and ylang ylang that are found in human skin/hair care products are actually quite toxic to ferrets (and cats), since they cannot metabolize or respiratorily filter out essential oil phenols the way that humans can. In fact, most plant-based oils should be avoided since ferrets are _obligate_ carnivores, a.k.a. hypercarnivores who can only survive on the consumption of fats and proteins. Ferrets derive no nutrition or benefit from carbohydrate plants or vegetables, though they do inevitably end up with some (

Another plus of the Ferret Nation cage is the resale value. If you clean it often and take really good care of it, you can easily sell it after you’re done with it for at least $150 so you recoup a lot of your money.

[@johnnianne1177]

Dear modern ferret, I wanted to write you and let you know how your channel has helped other ferret owners. I had three beautiful ferrets. I was guilty of originally keeping them in one story guinea pig cage. I watched this video and was persuaded into investing in the largest ferret nation, two story cage for my babies. I was lucky into finding one on Craigslist that was used and got a great deal on it. I also watched more videos and became aware of the outdoor time and love my babies needed. They are my biggest hobby and love in my life. I love caring for them and trying to give them the best life I can. I’m even wanting to add an extra attachment to the second story (giving them a total of six stories) for my birthday. They have taken over my house and my life. They spend most of their time running around my home, stashing their toys and making me laugh. I recently went onto Craigslist and saw a ferret shoved into a small wire birdcage no bigger than a steering wheel. He had no blankets or anything in the cage. I contacted the owner and tried to get them to surrender him. They refused for anything but 150$. I caved and bought him to get him out of the home. When I brought him home and further investigated his body I realized his feet were covered in scabs, poop, blisters…he is skin and bones, and his legs drag. I realized he probably never got out of that small birdcage. I cried. I am sitting outside the vet currently. I will do everything I can do from here on to educate myself and others on proper care and love for these amazing creatures. Thank you for telling others about their housing/and out of cage requirements and needs. I hope this and your other videos meet more people. Please ferret owners, give your ferret friends space. Give them outdoor time. Love on your babies.

Critter Nation and Ferret Nation cages are incredible. I have rats, and my Critter Nation is the best purchase I've ever made. I have to clean at least once a week, not to mention constantly adding new toys, food, and water. The amount of space has been great for my girls, and the easy access has been great for me. I am amazed by how sturdy it is. My 50lbs puppy has jumped on my critter Nation and it hardly budged. I definitely recommend it.

I have two ferrets and one needed more medical attention than the other at the time. It was handy to separate them for a while. Love watching your videos!

I originally bought the Critter Nation for my ferrets since I also had a rat at the time. It was never that easy to remove the top and the shelves were constantly falling under or on the ferrets. I kept it for about four years, but recently trashed it due to the base becoming wobbly. I did like how accessible everything was though and it I every end up in a situation where I can do the infinite cage thing I want to.

[@TheModernFerret]

Wow! Did your version have bolts or was it just press-fit together? The newer ones have the press-fit which makes disassembly much easier.

[@FullMoonDeria]

@@TheModernFerret It was fit together. Watching your video, mine might've just been a bit faulty, since I had to take a rubber mallet to tap the pieces together.

[@17sh3432]

The double ferret nation cage is awesome! My only complaint is the latches. We've had ours for about 3 years now and they don't align properly anymore so you have to kinda shimmy it closed now. That's likely just from taking it apart and putting it back together for cleaning. We've also had to move with it so it's very possible something got busted during the process. One of our trays is also cracked in the corner but those can be replaced, and they're still really nice. I will also say, we have a problem cleaning down between the joints and it gets kind of caked with nasty (food residue, . However, we power wash ours quarterly and that takes care of it pretty well. Overall, I think it's a solid investment and definitely works better for us than the Feisty Ferret cage we had before this one. We're thinking about getting a second if we get a 4th ferret!

Originally I had the kaytee cage the first day he fell from the very top

[@MintyFarts]

my girl passed away a decade ago but her cage wasnt any of these models.. it was likely made by kaydee thought, theres so many similarities, but much much bigger. the biggest issues was the doors, horizontal bars, and how the floors clicked onto the bars. the attachments started to break over time of taking them out to clean, doors were small, and the bars nor only allowed her to climb but she would bit and pull on the bars till they snapped through her teeth. i was always so scared she would break a tooth and nothing deterred her. If i ever get ferrets again im definitely going with this more modern cage option. i love that is it modular too, you could easily connect cage sections with tubes too, giving them access to other spaces in a safe way like a window/outside space, living room, sleep area, ect. so even if you arent home to play and let them out they have some options similar to my cats..

Please make a video on ferret nutrition- what we should look for specifically in dry kibble, how to ween them into raw, if you recommend raw, best treats and how to know if your ferret is getting enough vitamins! (E.g. taurine) also to know how much to feed the ferret, and healthy snacks!

my tip save your floor and get a cement mixing bin for the bottom for litter use and/or some wooden poop guards poop guards poop guards... :(

Questions: 1:Can you buy the ferret nation one with only one cage then buy the other later or do you have to buy another cage entirely. 2:Are there any add-ons that can go with the ferret nation one? Like hammocks and other play toys. 3:What type of bedding is best for the cage? Sorry if she has answered any of these questions in other videos I haven't watched all of them

[@atticusdrot8638]

Also for #2 I meant what are the best add-ons and such

The double ferret nation cage is €400 in NL, but watching this video it seems so worth it

[@arxana5052]

the feisty ferret: fit expectations, cheapish = $119(currently) ferret nation: bigger but more expensive =$300 (around) kaytee: way to small that could be good for one ferret but you want to get at least 2

I got my first ferret and I have the 3rd cage and it is AMAZING

[@TheModernFerret]

It really is GRAND!

When I got my first ferret, I picked up the Kaytee at the pet store. Now I’m looking into the Midwest cage. It’s honestly much better

[@RadioactiveGT-v2c]

Question alert!! What if you make a separate room in your house without a cage? (They have a mini home on the floor that is not a cage)

[@3amhellbeast]

I got my ferret nation (Or technically it could be a Critter nation although I believe they are the same cage. The original logo was taken off of it) off of Kijiji for a massive deal! I highly suggest looking for any second hand as these cages are meant to LAST. Mine is not 11 years old and I got it from a previous ferret rescuer and foster parent, I think it even housed birds at one point and it is still in incredible shape with just a bit of minor marks in the plastic from how many pets it's housed. It's also really easy to move around and the only reason why I may replace it is if I ever move just because of how unfortunately some of the metal has warped over the years so it's hard to put back together without a hammer. It also easily fits two litter boxes, has tons of places to hang hammocks (a must for ferrets!), tons of places for food and water, my cage has three water sources as I have a water bug that just loves to blow bubbles and dig in his water dishes and a towel for him to dry off in, even a snuffle mat that I hide treats in before I got to work so they have something to do if they wake up before I get home (And it doubles as another bed hahaha. I've even caught them snuggling in there and going for a mid-sleep snack). The other nice thing is how there's room for storage on that bottom shelf of the cage too so I store everything from their litter to an emergency kit under there (I recommend getting little plastic bins to slide under there so it's really easy to access everything). They even have a handmade curtain that goes around their cage so it blocks out any light or sun while they're sleeping and dissuades one of my ferrets who unfortunately is a bar biter from scratching and biting the cage (which came out to about... $30 Canadian to make from scratch but you can easily use an old curtain or even sheets to save a bit more money).

Lol ferret nation should've sponsored you bc now they are going to get more customers!🤣 I was on the fence about changing the cage for when we get a new noodle..ok we will get it..we have the Kaytee cage - yes very hard to clean - had to spend more $ on hammocks to stop noodle from falling it was not fun seeing him pin ball fall and hit each ledge on the way down😓😱 ( he was ok but omg) that right there was enough.. Thanks as always for the information ❤

[@lilianaKawehilanimarshall]

Can you please do an In-depth series/ Gide. I have a three year old Ferret named Caspian and A six month old Guinea pig named reapacheap, I have learned so much over the past year about ferrets and nutrition. Your videos help clarify valid information to non-valid information, somehow Ferrets has become more popular over the years but just because they’re popular doesn’t mean that a lot of people know how to take care of them correctly.

[@FernandesCisco]

Hello I am a ferret owner and enjoy your videos, there are very informative. I had two, a lady and a younger male. She’s unfortunately passed away recently and although Freddie has adjusted I’m trying to keep him stimulated with different toys when he is loose. I would like to hear your idea’s on different play toys for ferrets. Please and thank you. Be well. Cisco .

When my family got our first ferret she was (and still is) treated like a queen. The ferrets have since taken over the biggest room in the house

[@slrkls]

The first thing they steal is your heart. The second is everything else. My ferrets outrank my dog.
