I love the natural elements and greenery everywhere. Wonderful, wonderful space!❤ The beautiful musical accompaniment together with the enjoyment being expressed by these sweeties creates a pleasurable experience. 😊

If I ever rescue a Savanah cat, this is what I'm building!

That's my dream place right there, I want to build one for mine but that's the lottery for me to give my babies a safe area like that out in fresh air.

This is how I’ve always envisioned my ferret enclosure somewhere natural they can live their best lives

*watching a REAL ferret eat meat* My ferret was weird he kept trying to have a mostly fruit and peanut butter diet. Dry food would get tossed and thrown regularly, eggs were a no go, meat or fish of any kind was a shake the head and sneeze at it and act like it was infected disgusting thing. But this is an amazing video to watch and thanks to KZread for recommending this to me. Brings back memories f my gram peeling blueberries for Ferret.

Wow....!

omg the place of my dreams...my babies would love this.and the way you hang the meat and make them work for it is crazy.amazing

Ferrets are just so chaotic! I love it

Amazing when I get a house I want a place like this and have a pack of ferrets

Omg I want this for my babies ❤️. It's so cool to just see them roam like that. My ferrets would be all over the place. I would also like an extra erea for my snake to explore on warm days

First, I obviously have to mention that I love this enclosure. I would love to build something like this and just live in it. Secondly, how on earth did you cohabitate a genet, a wild animal, with a whole business of ferrets and five cats? While I haven’t done much research on genets, I’ve been under the impression that they are solitary and rather shy. Wouldn’t the genet either attack the domestic animals or get overwhelmed by their presence? But hey, if it works that’s some amazing enrichment for all of them.

@TheCatandFerret

3 жыл бұрын

The genet doesn't live along side the cats, since they are house/indoor cats that tend to go into the cattery of a daytime, however, the genet does live in the enclosure along with the ferrets. When growing up, the genet was living with one of our very docile jills, so he had some interactions with a ferret. When he got older, we then transferred him into the big enclosure you see in this video, along with the other ferrets. The ferrets and genet tend to keep to themselves, as the enclosure is big enough for them to have their own space if they want/need it. The genet isn't fazed by the ferrets, and they get on rather well. We have actually seen the genet initiate play with the ferrets, we've also seen them feed together, and even sleeping in the same beds together. We do have some footage of this, and we plan on making a video in future to show some of this behaviour, be sure to stick around!

Thank you for sharing!

Thank you! And our cats and ferrets have grown up with each other so they usually get on well! You may be able to condition your cat and ferret to get along through introducing them slowly, but it also depends on their personality too. For example, although all of our cats and ferrets get on with each other relatively well, some of our cats have little patience towards our ferrets and only have minimal or small interactions, whereas others will play with the ferrets.

It Is so cool how did you build it??

If you don't mind me asking, roughly where in the world are you located? I would love to live somewhere so lush and green! How does your habitat hold up in the winter?

We are based in the UK! Some of this footage was shot in summer, hence why it looks so lush and green. As for winter, the plants and leaves tend to die down until the following spring/summer, but it gives the habitat a nice, autumn look to it. It can get very cold in winter, but the animals have access to indoor sections all year round, as well as multiple beds to sleep in.

It's hard to put a price on the exact amount it cost to make, as it is the result of years of work. This was originally a bird aviary for about 19-20 years and was a lot more basic than what it is now. However, a lot of it is built with timber, logs, and wire mesh, so the materials can vary in price depending on the supplier. If anything, it's probably more expensive in hours to make than the materials used, as something on this scale will take a long time to build!

How do you keep the ferrets warm in winter and cool in summer???

The good thing with this enclosure is a lot of it is shaded. During the summer months, the ferrets tend to sleep above ground to keep cool, whereas in the winter they tend to sleep underground/in the many beds we have provided for them and snuggle together. We also have a little water tray for the ferrets so they can dip into if it gets too hot during summer.

@TheCatandFerret

2 жыл бұрын

This way of feeding isn't what we rely on. We hang enough raw food up for them occasionally, and we always have a dry food option out for them to eat. This way there is no concern about any of them not getting enough food because we make sure each ferret gets enough raw food, and they have access to dry food 24/7 to eat whenever they please. This hanging up food method just gets them more engaged in feeding time, rather than just having food always handed to them. Our ferrets are also interacted with every day, and they are regularly handled and played with. Ultimately, they are pets, so we wouldn't want to make them as wild as possible, as we do enjoy being able to interact with them, and keep them as family pets. However, we believe that tapping into this bit of naturalism in them is healthy, and keeps their way of living that bit more dynamic.
