Cage to small for a week or so?

[ReneeM]

I tried meshing a ferret cage for Mira's two boys, but ended up putting them in a smaller cage that is 14 inches by 24 inches. The meshing was so sharp when I was finished I was afraid to put them in the cage. I cut and scratched myself several times while putting the cage together. I didn't want to put the kits in any danger. They will be in the smaller cage for a week or two until they go to their new home.

That should be fine. It's a little small, but they're young and they'll be okay with it. How tall is the cage?

 

[ReneeM]

About 18 inches I believe.

This is the cage:

Snuggles is standing on the food bowl, so he had a few extra inches. I wish I had something bigger, but the meshing just seems dangerous :/. They will have a huge cage when they are adopted though. They will have a chinchilla Townhome.

That's fine! They're little babies and I am sure you're getting them out to handle them all the time.
