As a ferret rescue, I was looking for a way to keep the ferrets in a safe, but secure environment for all types weather.  Although this coop was a little smaller than I thought it would be, it was fairly easy to put together, and took two adults about 2 hours to put together. I have to admit the instructions are a bit strange, as none of the pieces are marked and you have to work from a small picture diagram that gives almost zero help. It is pretty much hit and miss, but with a little brainpower and concentration, it can be done. Although the joints are a bit flimsy, adding carpenter's glue makes for a more sturdy fit. Adding a paver-stone floor and plexi-glass sides also make it more secure for ferrets. Overall, it worked well and we are purchasing another to increase their space.
