FAQs

Can the cage be used for other pets?

This cage is specifically designed for ferrets. While it may accommodate other small animals, the bar spacing and layout are optimized for ferrets.

Is the base chew-proof?

The base is made of durable high-quality plastic, but like most plastic components, it is not impervious to persistent chewing by determined animals.

How do I secure the hammock?

The hammock attaches to the top of the cage using the included metal chains; ensure they are hooked securely onto the wire mesh at a comfortable height.

Can I add more tubes later?

Yes, the modular system allows for the addition of compatible Ferplast tube accessories if you wish to expand the play area.

How often should I deep clean the cage?

A partial clean should be done daily, while a deep clean of the base and accessories is recommended once a week to maintain a healthy environment.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty snapping the base to the wire structure.

Ensure all four corners are aligned correctly before applying downward pressure on the clips.

The tube connections feel loose.

Check that the plastic connectors are fully inserted and locked into their respective slots on the shelves.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When setting up the cage, ensure the base is placed on a flat, level surface away from direct sunlight or drafts. Secure all wire clips firmly during the initial build to ensure structural integrity. For daily care, use a pet-safe disinfectant to wipe down the plastic shelves and base. The included angular toilet should be emptied and cleaned daily to maintain hygiene. To keep the wire mesh in top condition, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could degrade the varnish; a simple wipe down with mild soap and water is usually sufficient.
