So your ferret found the gap in the bars — classic, and honestly a very common problem because a lot of cages marketed for ferrets are built to rabbit or guinea pig standards, not ferret-escape standards. Ferrets are highly intelligent, energetic obligate carnivores, and they need far more space and enrichment than most people expect — but none of that matters if the enclosure can't hold them. Bar spacing should be no more than 2.5cm, and ideally closer to 2cm for smaller or younger ferrets. Before I point you in the right direction, how many ferrets do you have, how old are they, and are you looking for a full replacement enclosure or something more specific?
Two ferrets, both about a year old. One is pretty small still. I just need a proper replacement cage — something they genuinely can't squeeze through. The old one was supposed to be for ferrets but the bars were way too wide.

That's a really common trap — cages labelled 'ferret cage' with 3–4cm bar spacing that no reputable ferret keeper would use. For two ferrets at that age, you want something tall with multiple levels, good door security, and bar spacing of 2cm or under. What size is the smaller one roughly — kit-sized still, or just on the petite side for an adult?
She's small but not a kit — she's fully grown, just naturally tiny. Maybe 600g or so.

At 600g she could still push through anything over 2.5cm if she's motivated, so 2cm spacing is the right target. My recommendation is the Savic Royale 95 — it has 2cm bar spacing throughout, measures 95 x 57 x 159cm so there's real vertical space for two ferrets, comes with multiple platforms and a hammock bracket, and the door latches are solid enough to resist a determined ferret. It's widely available on Amazon UK and consistently well-reviewed by ferret owners specifically. The build quality is noticeably better than the budget cages that tend to fail on bar spacing. One thing to add: reinforce the door latches with carabiners anyway — ferrets are remarkably good with lever-style catches over time.
That sounds good. Is it easy to clean? The last cage was a nightmare to get into.

The Royale 95 has a large front door and a removable base tray, so daily spot cleaning is straightforward and full cleans don't require dismantling anything. It's one of the practical reasons it comes up so often in ferret keeper communities — the access isn't an afterthought. You'll want to line the tray with fleece or paper-based bedding rather than wood shavings, which can irritate ferret respiratory tracts.
Perfect, I'll go with that. Thanks — really helpful.

Good choice. Once they're settled in, the main thing to watch with that age and energy level is out-of-cage time — they'll need a couple of hours daily in a ferret-proofed space or they'll redecorate the cage out of boredom. Enjoy them, they're brilliant animals.
