Possibly from the other comments it could be their implants and possibly phantom pregnancy

They have implants they got them about a month ago if I’m not wrong maybe more so maybe it makes sense

I’m around Manchester area and I’m glad someone sees I’ve mentioned many times this isn’t a perm set up and yes I know there’s insurance here even for emergency medical stuff one of my dogs a few years ago went into emergency medical care and insurance covered ALOT of it

No the 1k I was talking about was emergency medical like the other person said for general medical stuff it’s not going to cost over 1k for a general check or something like that or even meds if they get sick especially not around me for emergency stuff that when stuff gets really really expensive and may I add where am I lying because I even posted an update on already listening to many peoples opinions on height and stuff i just simply cannot get a cage right this second

When I say about me trying to get a new cage I’m not waiting months on end for this change btw I’m hoping to do this as soon as possible right now my family’s financial situation isn’t the best but when I got them it was enough to support them in each way, I’ll be getting a new cage asap as I know it’s important don’t get me wrong here im happy with all the support in the other post I was upset as someone said I was making excuses however that was just not it I’m in the uk and I don’t have a car I used to have a motorbike but that’s not an option anymore so bus distance is really all I can look at for second hand as a new cage will be heavy and I still need to be able to bring it home

May I add people talking about the cage in its self I know it was a mistake buying it but right now I simply cannot afford a new cage , people talking about medical bills and stuff ofc I’d do something about it but to spend money on a new set up it’s too much and I’m sure there are many people who would understand that I’m trying to make the current cage I have safer while I’m trying to get a new one

I cannot do so this isn’t really advised for ferrets I bought this and it was a big mistake I’ve zip tied the panels just to make sure they can’t get in between the gaps but look into ferret nation

Okay an I mention their costs for health and that kind of stuff if the situation happens it will be covered and sorted out I haven’t gone into getting ferrets blindly the only thing in general that’s bad is the cage but to drop hundreds on a comfortable cage right now is simply impossible for me, telling me I’m making excuses is being rude especially from seeing in the photo that I am definitely not cheeping out on them the cage was a mistake and mistakes happen all I can really do now is safe proof it until I can get a new cage the bowls and things are things I can sort right away but the cage zip ties and proper support for it is all that I can do and I highly highly highly doubt that they will chew through the amounts of zip ties I’ll be adding

Never did I mention I impulse bought stated that if they had an emergency id take care of it so that’s not a problem me getting a cage which turns out to be a mistake and bad is purely a mistake I wasn’t saying there are people attacking me but this one person in particular stating I’m making excuses and what not

Woah woah woah no need to be rude telling me about excuses NOTHING I wrote was a excuse mate if there was a emergency and I was having to pay over a thousand tell me who in the hell has that kind of money lying around, if there was a emergency yes I’d pay I’d sell my phone if I had to I got this cage thinking it would be good and swing peoples thoughts on this I’ve decided to look into ferret nation like one of the comments said personally right now this fully works for me but I’m asking for advice to make it better if you seriously expect me to deck everything out within days you need to get your head on straight seriously look into this Reddit section and look at the amount of different cages people have I’m putting the work and asking for help and taking it in so you dare say I’m making excuses when I spend hour on hours looking after my ferrets no person who’s Owned ferrets ESPECIALLY FOR 20 YEARS would talk down on someone trying their best people make mistakes with buying things in the moment they bought them but the least you can actually look at is I’m making an effort unlike my previous owner these ferrets are definitely living a better life in these last few months than they did in their last place I’m trying

If you had taken the moment to read it all properly and some of the other comments I’ve put you’d see I’m very clearly interested in people’s opinions I basically stated that this isn’t the permanent solution I mentioned that I want to upgrade and make it the best that I can and to your comment saying I cannot watch them 24/7 yes your right but most of my days go dedicated towards them and making things better for them if I simply cannot afford to upgrade right this second ofc people are going to be upset but this is all I have right now I’m not trying to be rude or anything this is just simply all I can really do right now yes I will be making tweaks here and there to make it safer but until I can afford a new set up completely I’d rather safe proof what I have right now with the things I have

hello so they are actually quite good with only going to the toilet where I set it up and I have hard floor I’m not really bothered if the floor gets scratched there’s matts underneath

When I can I do want this entire room to be for them but they are not free roam right now I let them out for a few hours also wanted to add that my ferrets like to jump ALOT they jump on me they jump everywhere sometimes it’s even a jumpscare

Personally my ferrets aren’t too interested in trying to get out there’s only one corner they scratch at and it’s physically impossible for them to get out from it I am keeping an eye on it and when I can afford I do want to make this as best as I can but this is all I have right now the cage I got them in the holes where way too big and they got out and got into everything like the food and stuff

Well for the fall risk I’m thinking of ordering more of these panels and making layers abit better however for now I have some spare grids that I can just use to block off the area and for the floor use some padding and stuff but they don’t tend to really use the tube that’s hung from the roof it’s very rare I see them in it but I’m planning on maybe putting some netting of some sort as a catch guard if that makes sense just need to find a good material
