I am working on a fert cage. I want to make it out of an old bookshelf, and i need your advice. Is this big enough? It has four levels, each shelve is 5/8" long thick. It is 58 1/16" tall, including the shelves that make up the top and bottom. Two of the shelves are adjustable up and down two and a half inches. The second shelve (the floor for the third level) is not, and has to be 30" from the bottom, including the thickness of each shelve between, including the bottom. The bottom shelve, which supports the second floor, is 14 5/8" from the bottom (including the thickness of the shelve and the bottom floor), with 2 1/2" leeway up or down. The first from the top shelve (supports the top space) is 13 1/4" from the top, including the spaces of from the bottom of the platform to the top of the roof. Each shelve is 29 inches including the 5/8" on either side, or 7 3/4 without. They are all. Every shelf is 14 3/4" deep.


I will post pictures tomorrow. Is it too small?

It doesn't sound very deep for a litter box but I have seen a couple ferret cages made from entertainment centers.  I'd like to see pics.  for something like that it's probably hardest to connect the levels.  Good luck with it.

THE DOOKS OF HAZARD

I'll post images tomorrow. As of now, i am perusing freecycle to try and find a free entertainment center or larger shelving unit. Still hanging on to the shelving. Hopefully i can find something better if it is too small.

I am considering using my entire bedroom as a free roam ferret room. It is a somewhat small room, and would be a sinch to ferret proof. I have a chest i can tip over, and possibly put a few sheets/blankets on top of some shower curtains to protect the carpet. I can used the tipped chest as a shelter, or, better yet, i can buy a large dog kennel and let him sleep in there and stay in there when guests are in the house or i need to leave my door open.
