∙ 13y agoIt depends on the amount of out-of-cage activity it will get. For active ferrets a minimum of a two story cage is good for one ferret (similar to large rodent cages). And for more ferrets double the size of the smallest cage; except when your ferret is elderly. They may not be able to make it to the litter pan if they have to walk too much; or may have trouble walking.
