This has been great as a travel pen and addition to the ferrets cage. We set the pen against one wall then the other side on the adjacent wall. It worked really well. Gives our fuzzy girl lots of room to play when we arent home. We use this and the matching playpen cover when traveling for her to stay in.
She has never has never escaped except due to human error. This has stood the test of being loaded into a car, into the back of the truck, and taken to the park and yard many times. I havent seen any paint chips or rust.
The price is rather high but the quality is there. I recommend that everyone add this to their ferrets life.
If you are wondering, I believe you can totally use this as an all the time pen in a ferret safe room or house. The playpen cover (sold separate) does not fit amazingly like the picture suggests but it does do its job. Its a nice addition. I bought the two pack.
Ive got 5 crazy ferrets ranging from 1lb - 3.8lb and they always seem to find a way out of everything and into things theyre not supposed to be in!! With this playpen (and matching playpen floor mat) Ive only had 1 that has managed to get over the top of it - he is my longest ferret though and I maintain he got a really lucky jump or stood on one of the other ferrets because he hasnt been able to do it since. The playpen stands about 3ft tall (Im only 5ft and it comes up a little past my hip). It is plenty big enough for my 5 to run around and dook, but Ill eventually get the 3 pannel extension to give them just a bit more space. When Im done with the pen and they are ready to go back to bed, it folds up (almost completely) flat and is small enough for me to slide between the wall and my entertainment center so it is always handy next to their cage in the living room. also, the mat folds up and I just leave it on top of their FN cage. I think the best part about this playpen is it is made well and sturdy so they arent able to knock it over. It clasps together along one side with 3 hooks (top, middle, bottom). The bottom hook was a bit hard for me to get into the hole at first, but it just makes me feel more confident that they arent going to be able to hit it and knock it out of place.
The only downfall for me was the price since it doesnt actually include the playpen floor mat. But, considering that my ferrets are like Houdini and can get out of *almost* anything, it was worth it in the long run and has proven to be a great help with cleaning out the cage and even when I recently moved, I was able to let them have some free time while we were moving boxes!! Not to mention it makes bath time so much easier so my couch doesnt get soaked with little wet body prints!! All things considered, I would buy this again in a heartbeat and am happy that I finally decided to shell out the money for it!
Awesome small pet play pen. We use two of these for our pet ferrets. WE have one outside around a play area full of sand and dirt with a tube and several areas of 4 pvc pipe for them to run through. They are unable to climb out of this playpen and its great to have them unable to get out. Although when they are outside we always watch them. When inside we keep this as a gate between our Living Room and Dining Room where they play. We stretch it across the room attaching it to the wall with closeable hook and loops. They then have the whole room to use and it keeps them from climbing out.
We used to run a ferret rescue and have used these for the last 12 years as a way to do adoption events at PetSmart or Petco. They are also great for keeping groups of ferrets away from other groups or if you want you can scavage them for using in door ways to block off rooms from other rooms. I really love these deluxe playpens. If you are going to use them as intended please use the bottom mat that is also available for the deluxe play pen. If you have more than two ferrets use the bigger (deluxe) playpen. If you only have one or two the smaller playpen is fine. Just get the right mat for the bottom of them if you are using the play pen on carpet as ferrets are known to dig into carpet for fun. The mat keeps the ferret from digging into the carpet or tile.
I absolutely recommend this deluxe playpen and will continue to buy them as long as I have ferrets, which will be as long as I am alive.
There was plenty of room for my two dwarf bunnies. They normally have separate cages but this was used as a full time dwelling while I was on vacation. This was sturdy enough to contain them and I had no issues with escaping. They both weigh a little over 3 pounds
We took the pannels apart to make door gates for our ferret and they have worked out great. The bars are close enough together that she cant wiggle through and she hasnt figured out how to climb over them. Much cheaper than buying the actuall baby gates for these guys!!
Works well for a ferret with room for other items such as food and water bowls, bedding, small tunnel toy, and litter box. Very portable. Had to place vinyl tablecloth on flooring as canvas cover/flooring I got sparately is not waterproof. Will use the cover for shading so all works well together.

Great as a short term dwelling!!!
