A sturdy structure with multiple entry points and a slide out pan in the bottom for easy poo removal makes having a ferret a whole lot easier. And my little, smelly buddy has all kinds of space to wonder, which he obviously enjoys. I'm may even consider putting a second ferret in with him with all that space. When it's time to clean the cage, simply roll it out the door (or wherever you go to clean it out) and do what you have to do. I love this cage AND the fact I got it on sale!
