As for the size, i think its a 10-quart? It easily holds 10-lbs of rice and two ferrets.

Yeah, same here. I do have a few bird food toys that they do like playing with, but I need to get some more challenging ones.

I have a cheap cage, but once we get our money saved up, we want to be a FN 142, eventually adding on with 143. We just took all four to the vet for a hefty price (distemper and rabies shots for all of them) = $386 + glucose test = $411
I will definitely make some modifications once we get the new cage though! My poor babies are so bored in their cages.

I got a 35 litre plastic box with the locking handles, and 10kg/22lb rice today. Now I just have to decide where to put it, probably on the bottom floor because of the weight. Merlin is very big, could not expect him to go in anything smaller. He won't go into the pipes anymore, he is getting to know how big he is now.
Has anyone ever had any trouble with them eating the rice? This is my 1st rice box.

Not as a rule, no. They have accidently ingested some at times, but not deliberately.

Did you say your ferrets are only allowed out of the cage for 2 hours a day?

No, they are out from about 12:pm to 12:am (sometimes 10, if we're feeling tired). This is basically all day. 2 hours isn't enough for our guys
