www.ferrettower.comI purchased a "tower of fun" years ago, and my brats still use it daily. The also have the following availabe: * whoop-ti-do * hills and dales * heavy-duty tubing 4 3/8 inches - for wide-bodied ferrets. (My boys won't use 4" tubing since the girls kick their butts when they're in the 4" tubes - their fragile male egos probably can't handle it - my boys seem to be emotionally mre sensitive than my girls . Shaman uses the tower when the others are not using it....he's not a fast as the little girls who trap him in the tower and nip at him from both sides. But he deserves it...he ambushes his siblings while they're in the potty box. I've seen this only through our web cam.....so now I KNOW how they fling poop 4 feet high on the walls -jennifer

What a neat toy... I have a tube attached to the front of my FN that leads above the cage and ends in a rice dig box (originally meant to be a remote litter box - but someone kept sleeping in it) and Brady LOVES climbing up and down the tube. I bet he would go crazy for this tower...hmmm i wonder if this would fit under my christmas tree

Those are awesome, but so easy to make. My boyfriend made 2 of the towers for $50. All my weasels EXCEPT MegaWeasel love it.

I ordered mine online. It came all assembled, so I didn't have to do any thing. I was VERY SURPRISED how sturdy and stable the thing is - they do a great job with these
You can always make one and save some money if you have the time to do so.
Great space saver too!!!

..hmmm i wonder if this would fit under my christmas tree You could just decorate it and have it be your Christmas tree. Like a truly devoted ferrent would do...

I made something similar but simpler: I twisted a gutter extender around my cat tree, so the cats AND the ferrets use it. The ferrets will go down the top, and if I stuff them in the bottom, they'll climb up out of the top. They are so cute, we whip ourselves up into a frenzy! They'll run through in turns and as they run through I grab them and put them back into the other end over and over until we've had enough. If I could fit into that tube, I'd join them!

Here's my version. They've chewed a couple holes in the tube so they can get out at different stops along the way.

We're a couple of "do-it-herself"ers! I had used dryer exhaust material originally and they chewed it up like yours did- then I substituted the more sturdy gutter extension. I also have drainage tubes around my living room out of the way- around the back of the couch, and on the opposite wall around the back of the entertainment center. When we play, I sometimes take a large cardboard extension and connect them- but only when we play, otherwise it's in the middle of the Living room and everyone would trip over it.

These are so fun!
What is the clear plastic tubing called? I went to Rona and could only find the white tubing, and I got a super injury while I was there and couldn't even buy it =[

Clear flexible ducting if you're shopping at a hardware joint.
