wedding...need adive for my ferrets..?

I had a three-level cage providing 18 square feet of floor space made for my three female ferrets. The bottom level has the litterbox, feeder and 2 water bottles. The middle has another water bottle and the sleeping area. The top level has toys and a play tube. With all this space I would not consider leaving them for more than a weekend without someone coming over to let them out.

Look into boarding facilities for your guys. Time that they can be left depends on how big the cage is and how active the ferrets are. In my opinion, more than a week would be too long to leave ferrets in any cage smaller than a bedroom.
