The best kind of cage for a ferret is a large one with multiple levels, especially if you not taking them out for exercise every day. The one I have has 4 levels an is 6' tall 4' wide and 3' deep that is for 4 ferrets and I still take them out regularly for exercise. You can get by with a smaller cage but I would suggest the largest you can accomadate, otherwise you should make the right choice and get an animal that requires less care

Ferrets are content to sleep in old t-shirts, sweaters, baby blankets, cut off pant legs, etc. These bedding items should be washed at least weekly to keep your ferret smelling fresh. Dirty bedding = stinky ferret. It is best to stay away from any type of bedding that can produce dust, or can become moldy when wet. Ferret respiratory systems are very sensitive to these things.
Should you clean rust off of the ferrets cage if so is it safe to clean it off with some type of rust remover for the ferret's cage?
The best way is to use a wire brush and then paint the cleaned area with a rust preventive paint. Please do not let your ferret back into the cage until the paint is completely dry. Think of your ferret as if it were a small child and take precautions just as you would for a very bright two year old. Ferrets are very curious and might try to "taste" the paint as well as they might eat the rust flakes, so be careful.
