We do - we have four of them in our flat. There are a variety of multi-level cages on offer these days which will fit easily into your flat, taking up little floorspace while still offering plenty of space for the ferrets to play. Of course, you'll still need to let them out of the cage for a minimum of six hours a day and you'll need to be there while they're out because they get themselves into all sorts of mischief. You'll also need to take very great care to ensure the windows are shut, because open windows are just too much temptation for an animal as inquisitive as a ferret. It would be a very great pity if your ferrets were confined to being indoors their entire lives, so get some ferret harnesses - they cost about five pounds - a cat carrier - from about ten pounds up. That way, you can take them outdoors and let them explore without them escaping.
