I bought this it is great
How can I get in touch with you pls
Where can I find this?? Bc Amazon has not the right ones that’s this! Can one of y’all send me a link
Or something bc I rlly need it RLLY BAD
I was literally rooting for the ferret nation throughout the video as if I didn't already know that it was the best hahaha
I think the biggest cage is the best
That would be my entire house 🤣
@@TheModernFerret Lol!
Not always but yes
Who asked 😆 lol it
It is just a joke ok don't hate
@@TheModernFerret lol
Her voice is literally the most calming thing I’ve ever heard!
FEERET NATION OF COURSE
OF COURSE!!!
YES!!
Im definitely going to get a double ferret nation cage when I get my ferrets and let them out 7+ hours supervised ^^
LOL ♥
That’s awesome!!! Remember to ferret proof!!! ❤️
7+ hours. hahaha hilarious. They last about 2hrs and they'll go back to sleep for 10+ hrs.
@@khmerbraveheart fr tho, my ferret is outside his cage for 2-3 hours then goes back to sleep for like another 10 hours. 7 hours is just unrealistic in my opinion.
@@khmerbraveheart beat me to it!! I know more hours is best, we give them a minimum of 4 hours per day.
Me watching this knowing I've had Kaytee cage and hated it! Had so many death scares with that one. 5 years later still have my ferret nation cage and it looks brand new!
The Kaytee cage looks like a rodent cage they just made bigger, which is probably exactly what it is.
Rodents tend to me more sure footed so that cage seems much better for them than ferrets.
Price isn't a turn off you want to be a responsible ferret or even an animal owner
except it is lol.
@@independentmissile200 not really. It’s their home. You got to this like it was you. You wouldn’t want something that wasn’t right.
@@AkatsukiKing I just bought the ferret nation cage for $100. No way i would buy it for nearly $300 dollars. Unlike you, i don’t throw money away as if it were nothing. Price is definitely a turn off if i know i can get it for a much better price
You get what you pay for
@@independentmissile200 if you're gonna PAY cheap you're gonna GET cheap, dont pay cheap for your animals just please don't just wait to get that certain animal so you have enough money for GOOD QUALITY stuff meaning expensive not some cheap a$$ stuff, please be responsible for your pets its not good to cheap on them
I’ve had my Ferret Nation cage for ten years, and it is still going strong while it now houses my 2nd generation of fur babies. The best choice indeed!
It's really just a very well designed cage and very well engineered that assembly is very easy and relatively quick.
The FF cage feels like a company wanted to copy cage the FN cage but cut a bunch of corners, and arrive at a price point below the FN and above the Kaytee.
I think the Kaytee is more suited for rodents than ferrets. Rodents seem much more sure footed and being smaller, just fit the cage better.
The double ferret nation is the best.I leave it open on the left bottom with a ramp so my pet can roam inside a gated ferret proofed diningroom,hallway,large bathroom area.I have to hurdle the gates but he loves the the variety of rooms.
Thank you! I don't even care about how expensive I'm still going to buy the ferret nation clearly it's the best option
thank you for all the help we got ferrets back in november. your videos helped so much!
Channing & Haley your videos are getting so good! How this isn't a 100k sub channel blows my mind.
Recently I’ve been obsessed with ferrets so this is very helpful for me
Thank you so much for this video and all the other ones, I am looking into getting a ferret and this helped so much.
This account is super helpful as a new ferret owner, thank you!!
We started our two ferrets with a Feisty Ferret cage. We covered the wire floors with washable bath mats from Walmart. The waterproof bottoms of the mats help with messes when our fuzzbutts miss the litter box, and the carpet adds coziness and warm! Plus, if the mats get too nasty to wash, they’re only six bucks to replace from Walmart!
But however, as much as we enjoy our Feisty Ferret (especially for the price), we plan on upgrading to a Ferret Nation once we get a third!
Wow that's a great idea! Thanks for sharing, it would be comfy too!
@@TheModernFerret The best way to deal with wire flooring is spend a few bucks at the hardware store and get some linoleum... it's easily custom cuttable waterproof and easily cleanable... having said that... no reason to get a Feisty Ferret cage when the Ferret Nation exists... but if you need to cover a wire floor, Linoleum is both cheap and VERY effective (I went through this process over the last 20 years of cage evolution before I settled on the Ferret Nation).
My ferret has chewed through these bars. Also the dangerous news of all of them are not worth the vet bills. You can get a ferret escape and I would hate to have my laddie in a bird cage as these look like. For £100 I will be building an 8 foot by 3 foot by 3 foot with wooden 2 by 2 frame, and a piece of hardboard with a lip and asphalt covered detachable roof. Very heavy and the bars are constructed by a dog playpen on Amazon uk which has a very strong thick covered wire that he will not ever chew through, it is my last attempt. Hammocks and ranps are needed as well as a small cat tree from Amazon uk And proper food tray and water tray with a dark area for sleeping. I have owned big polecat ferrets for 35 years. They are very dangerous and are extremely disruptive. I am in the UK. They can sink their teeth into you. Also, they are very vulnerable so you need them to be trained to toilet as kits ASAP. Use cat litter not paper. Linoleum they chew. Towels they chew, wood they chew, and constant cage rattling they do. Best in a shed at night and in a secure warm place. Having a ferret is hard on you and other pets. They need to enjoy running and destruction of everything. The constant cage bar scrabbling is highly annoying. Best outdoors,. Not really a good pet. Too much money these dangerous bird cages. And they do like being in a place to sleep which is as in a sturdy hutch box. Also cages like these, if other pets or children are about will cause them to be injured by say cats, and kids fingers through the bars. Or silly adults poking their fingers through. Ferrets on your video didn't seem at all able to navigate any of these so called interiors. Even the advocated expensive one.
I have had my ferret for half a year now and I’m 13 so I’m not able to get a job. So for my birthday I’m going to ask for the ferret nation cage and go all out for my baby. Thank you for the pros and cons about all the cages, really helped me decide what I should do!😄
I NEEDED this video!!! Thank you!!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching and feel free to let us know what video you'd like us to do next.
Thank you so much for this!! I've been trying to decide for weeks which cage would be best for my two ferrets. It's so difficult to tell when shopping online. This video has helped tremendously!! Definitely going with the Double Ferret Nation cage. ❤️
Woo! I’m getting a ferret soon and I am SOO grateful you made this!
This is sooo true! I started out with one ferret and the kaytee cage, and even before I got 2 ferrets I was fed up with the doors, shelves and EVERYTHING! I too wished I had gotten the ferret nation first! Hopefully this video will help others to skip wasting their money on the other 2 and go straight to a ferret nation! :)
Thank you for making this video I am getting a ferret soon and I didn’t know which ferret cage to choose and you help me thank you very much😊👍😁
Your videos are so informational and well made, you deserve more subs and followers
I have the double Dekker ferret nation cage and a ferret named bandit and you’ve helped me with so many things over the past year thx ☺️
This helped me like A LOT tysm
Thanks for all the work u put in your videos! I'm glad that I've found your channel so I can learn more about ferrets right before I go and get me those fur noodles!
Lots of love, one of your fans ❤️
Thank you so much for the kind words! It's comments like these that make me keep doing what I do ♥
@@TheModernFerret that's great to hear! I guess u already helped so much people yet. But it's so interesting.
Beside this, I hope I can buy the Ferret Nation Cage also in Germany. 😅😂
SOOO helpful! Thank you for making this thorough review of all these cages. I just bought a ferret nation and even though it’s pretty expensive, it sounds like it’s worth every penny.
I would like to thank both The Modern Ferret and Emzotic for making it so easy to do the research I needed to feel confident in my decision to get a ferret today. He already seems so comfortable in his new home and don't know if he would have if I hadn't known how to go about it. Thank you!
Looking for a new cage for my chinchilla and I couldn’t decide between the feisty or the double, but this video helped sooooooo much! Thank you very much. Reminds me I need to be a better parent.
I had a ferret nation for my three boys. They loved it. I never got to do a double-wide like some people do, before they all passed away.
Ty! I don’t own a ferret BUT I own a chinchilla and I’m planning on getting ferret nation cage. Almost every chinchilla owner I’ve seen has that cage, I’m planning on adding ledges and other sorts of stuff. I love seeing it in this video especially because your explaining the whole cage. Amazing video! ✨
It's a great cage and you can totally customize it for chins! ♥
I’m getting two ferrets and buying the ferret nation cage I think it’s the best choice. I’m 12 and using my mom TH-cam account.😁
🤣 your mom is a very lucky lady to have such an adamant researcher!
I might get two ferrets too and I am 12 !!
@@koda4316 im 11 and im getting them tommarrow
@@gloverwaters6436 good luck I am going to talk to my mom and show her the ferrets that I want because I can decide so hopefully she says yes I will ask when I get out of school
@@koda4316 make sure to do lots of research before you get any! :D
We got 5 ferrets last year. They've been free range 24/7 but the sleep deprivation is becoming real. The plan is to turn a double cage into a blanket and treat filled ferret nap paradise.
Thank you so much for this review. I really apreciatte 😍
Glad it was helpful!
This is a very informative video! Simon has a single ferret nation cage in my living room and a double ferret nation in my bedroom! They are awesome.
Thanks so much for watching, Courtnie! Simon is one lucky ferret! It's so exciting to watch him grow and learn through your videos :)
Thank you for this because I have been deciding since I got my ferrets. Love all your videos too. Thank you. You are very helpful
You are so welcome!
I made my choice thank you. Yes its worth spending the money. And anything easy to clean is helpful too. Thank you again and I'm glad I found your page.
i love your Videos❤
I have been thinking about getting a ferret after my cat passes away, or when I get older and get my own house or apartment, and this has helped me know what I would need. This has helped so much thank you!
im getting the ferret nation cage😅 sooooo happy you made this video
Great video
Thank you , you helped me decide on a cage for my girls
I love my ferret nation cage! It’s actually very big in person and so easy to clean. I have two double story ferret nation cages that I put together for my two ferrets and they have so much space to run around and play in.
Just got a ferret a few weeks ago and your channel has been extremely helpful! Thank you ❤️ and my ferret Remi thanks you kindly haha
You are so welcome!
Lifesaver thanks ❤️
THANK GOD FOR THIS VIDEO!!! I have the Kaytee cage for bean and I just hate it! Cleaning it is a pain and I’m the wires are awful. I have the ferret nation cage in my Amazon cart! Hopefully getting it for bean for the holidays! I worry a ton about his safety and all the hammocks trying to catch his falls is just too much. I am gonna bite the bullet and get it! This video made my mind for me! Thank you Hayley!!!
I'd love to see how you set up your ferret nation cage with accessories and such!
Just picked up the double nation yesterday for cheap, an update from the smallest one, but I had 2 wired portions of the katee stacked one on the other so it had twice the space (I was sure to arrange the shelves to make it impossible to full the full 8 ft) I’m happy to see my instincts were correct in getting the ferret nation for $100. I also built a wood liner for the bottom of the double nation cage and cut a hole to allow access, creating a burrowing area on the lowest ‘storage’ shelf.
YESSSS I NEEDED THIS
😆
I have two of the feisty ferret cages that we made into one and it’s huge
How did you do that???:00
Thanks for the video. I was really considering in getting the fiesty ferret cage till I seen only one side opens.
I have s Savic Suite Royale XL (115.5X67.5X146cm). And I find this a great cage. What is also useful to have in a cage is some sort of panel to divide both levels (or the possibility to place one without a nosey and smart ferret being able to move the panel or squinsh between a gap). I have two ferrets and one needed more medical attention than the other at the time. It was handy to separate them for a while.
Love watching your videos! And how cute was the ending, my heart melted! ❤️
Savic Royale is a great cage! We don't have them available in the U.S. but I hear it is the a great cage internationally!
so glade I saw this video before buying a cage! buying my new ferret in 2 weeks
I had a Kaytee cage at first and it kept popping out of place and my ferret got her toe stuck in the edges once. We have a ferret nation now and are so happy.
Thanks for this video! Will take this into consideration when we get our ferrets. How about the ferplast furet tower though? How would that compare?
We have the double ferret nation cage it’s amazing my ferrets love it!
I’ve been asking for a ferret for a bit now from my mom since were newbies I wanna find good stuff to maybe convince her to get me a ferret and show I can be responsible for the ferret and give it love, So this video helped with some of those recommendations for cages
10/10 Would recommend the Ferret Nation cage. Our 4 ferrets love it and it works so well!! Made out of very sturdy material too!
So true! Totally agree.
I am really waiting for the cage tour :)
I just recently got the critternation cage at a $100 discount I was so excited
Tysm I'm getting 2 ferrets you've helped me through my journey!!! 😊❤
Congratulations on getting ferrets!
Thank you :)
Just upgraded from the Fiesty to the Ferret Nation. Saw this video tonight as we were building our new cage.. it's like my phone knew. 🤔🤣
This girl deserves way more subscribers
Does she post every Thursday? Also Happy Thanksgiving 🍁
Where is the cage tour video?! These are all soooooo helpful thank you!!!! Also what’s the video called for indoor/temps n that info
Great info. You guys should totally create your own cage with all your knowledge.
Maybe one day! That would be sooo cool!
Another plus of the Ferret Nation cage is the resale value. If you clean it often and take really good care of it, you can easily sell it after you’re done with it for at least $150 so you recoup a lot of your money.
Very true! Also, where did you get the clear tubing on the walls? I have been wanting to build something like that for my ferrets but couldn't find anything even like it. I'd love to be able to build it for them for Christmas too!
I am watching all your Videos! There amazing! Im trying to convince my parents to help me get a ferret! 😁
Definitely gunna save to get the ferret nation cage. Want to make sure I have everything before I get my baby ❤️
Thank you so much for this video, I just bought the best one. Also what do you use to clean the cage?
Being Scottish when I was younger I had many many pole cats as pets loved them and they loved me the best pets ever and it broke my heart when they past💔👌
i have the feisty ferret cage and it’s honestly great. i bought 2 sets of ferret liners for the cage to cover up the wires and the ferrets can’t get under them or tear them off, it’s also very easy to take on and off to clean. i’m thinking of getting the ferret nation since it’s a little bigger, though...
Please make a video on ferret nutrition- what we should look for specifically in dry kibble, how to ween them into raw, if you recommend raw, best treats and how to know if your ferret is getting enough vitamins! (E.g. taurine) also to know how much to feed the ferret, and healthy snacks!
Yes I will go for the ferret nation cage probably single (hopefully double if I can save) when or if I get ferrets. I need to convince my mother to let me get a ferret first and I really want one like I do so much research and stuff
Lol ferret nation should've sponsored you bc now they are going to get more customers!🤣 I was on the fence about changing the cage for when we get a new noodle..ok we will get it..we have the Kaytee cage
- yes very hard to clean
- had to spend more $ on hammocks to stop noodle from falling it was not fun seeing him pin ball fall and hit each ledge on the way down😓😱 ( he was ok but omg) that right there was enough..
Thanks as always for the information ❤
I have the third one and my ferret LOVES it
Great job!!!
im just waiting to grow older and get my own space for my ferrets to roam, ill save enough money for the fn cage lol
I love my new ferret cage. Its so great
Psshtt- “ferret nation cage needs two people to lift” *me 12 years old lifting and carrying it from the edge of my driveway into my basement and putting it all together by myself because I was too excited and no one was available to help me*
🤣
I know I’m late but I have the double ferret nation, I’m about to get a ferret and this video made me feel better, I’m so nervous
Where do I get the tunnels that u got on ur wall. Thanks for all the help with this vid it’s taught me alot
Can you please do an In-depth series/ Gide.
I have a three year old Ferret named Caspian and A six month old Guinea pig named reapacheap, I have learned so much over the past year about ferrets and nutrition. Your videos help clarify valid information to non-valid information, somehow Ferrets has become more popular over the years but just because they’re popular doesn’t mean that a lot of people know how to take care of them correctly.
could you do a bite training video. I love your vids! i'm doing so much research so i'm able to be prepared for my ferrets
We hope to do a bite training video in the future. It is a complex video so it takes a lot of time to get it right. In the meantime, check out these articles we wrote on the topic:

Critter Nation and Ferret Nation cages are incredible. I have rats, and my Critter Nation is the best purchase I've ever made. I have to clean at least once a week, not to mention constantly adding new toys, food, and water. The amount of space has been great for my girls, and the easy access has been great for me. I am amazed by how sturdy it is. My 50lbs puppy has jumped on my critter Nation and it hardly budged. I definitely recommend it.
If you want to have a cheaper option that is infinitely customizable, just build your own, that’s what I’m doing for my little buddy’s. I’m making it 5 by 5 feet, and having plexiglass walls so they can’t clime, I’m also making it with a door so I can enter and clean easily.
I agree
It’s really nice when both doors open.
Such a nice feature!
I have the medium cage for my rats and it works perfectly ❤️
Rats are the BEST pets 🥰
Ferret nation, ferrplast, and a great dane kennel with modifications are the only cages I’d use commercial.
I personally just have a small plastic kaytee cage that I leave open so my free roam ferrets have a hammock and some sand to play in.
Love my ferret nation!
for my house size limits im going feisty cage that im going to do some modifications on, especially with the modern prices being 200 vs 300 something.
I have thinking buying other cage for my ferret and now I know which one to get thank you and where did you get the banana it’s sooo cute ❤️❤️😭😭
Alot of ferret owners say if they're doing something bad u can't say no no that it won't work but it does with our little guy

hi i recently got a new ferret (its my dads) we have had a few before but never took an interest in them until now, the one we got is really nippy what do you suggest I should do to tame him. i can pick him him and he sits in my arms but he tries to bite my finger it might be him trying to play but i dont want to put him down just encase he tries biting my legs. what should i do?
Can you do one for ferret foods please?
PLEAAAAAASE tell us where you got those tunnels!! I'd love to deck out my home with them but all I ever find are hampster tunnels. All the ferret sized hard plastic ones come in randomized, jarring colors, which makes them kind of an eyesore... Plus, I'd like to SEE them in there, so I know where they are. I'd use the fun floppy Marshall tubes, but my little girl likes chewing through them... Would LOVE to know where you got yours!!
I have a question,
I’m trying to convince my parents to get me a ferret. Do you know what reasons I could give them to prove a ferret is a good pet?
Question . Is the Ferret Nation cage is the same as the Critter Cage , or different ?
Im trying to convince my parents to get us a ferret for christmas, and you videos are helpful thanks!
Samee
I was able to convince my mom, so im getting one for Christmas
@@cantdecide4167 sameee I was making plans on how to pay and it worked
@@babysocrazyy2455 nice, im very excited and I cant wait
@@cantdecide4167 yurpp
i don't care if the ferret nation cage is going to take a lot of money, if i'm talking about my future ferret(s) they have to get the best stuff i can offer them. also, i'm totally in love with your videos, you earned a sub! :D
I myself use 2 Furblast Ferret Tower cages, both attached to make one big cage
every day i have been looking at ur acc waiting for a new vid lol
Sounds like I have a fan! 🤣
@@TheModernFerret I LOVE you vids and u work is amazing so i think i can say ima a huge fan
The double ferret nation cage is awesome! My only complaint is the latches. We've had ours for about 3 years now and they don't align properly anymore so you have to kinda shimmy it closed now. That's likely just from taking it apart and putting it back together for cleaning. We've also had to move with it so it's very possible something got busted during the process. One of our trays is also cracked in the corner but those can be replaced, and they're still really nice. I will also say, we have a problem cleaning down between the joints and it gets kind of caked with nasty (food residue, . However, we power wash ours quarterly and that takes care of it pretty well. Overall, I think it's a solid investment and definitely works better for us than the Feisty Ferret cage we had before this one. We're thinking about getting a second if we get a 4th ferret!
