Ferrets can climb

Don't let anyone tell you ferrets don't or can't climb, they are liers! This lot spend every waking moment when they are not either eating, leaping about or destroying things, climbing.

They climb up the mesh at the front of the court, right to the top and then decide they can't go down. They climb up your trousers, then your shirt and try to sit on your head. If keeping ferts, make sure you have lots of things for them to climb up and over. Shelves with ramps are good. I tried ladders but so far they are yet to get the hang of them. Maybe as they get older they will get the hang of ladders, but for now I am covering ramps with chicken wire to give them grip.
