I know you’re only building a cage but you really are a strong woman!!! 1- you noticed there wasn’t a tutorial so you took it into your own hands ( thank you this video will help me when my ferret nation comes Wednesday) 2- a boy mother. 3- a son with autism my niece has autism and I love her so much
Thank you for this video! My cage is arriving tomorrow and I'm so glad that there's an in-depth video to help! I just want to say that you seem like you have a very lovely home! Thank you again!
I've put my cage together now, and it went really easily thanks to this video! The instructions are good, but because I'd watched this video before hand I managed to get it up within an hour on my own. Thanks again!
I’m so happy you made this video I got the cage yesterday and I’ve been searching for a how to video because I un boxed it all and looked at the directions then gave up 😂 let’s just say I’m a visual learner so I really appreciate it 💜
Thank you so much for this video I purchased a used for at least in cage today and had no instructions and was able to put it together extremely easily thanks to this video
Thank you for making this video! You gave me courage to actually believe I could put the cage I purchased together myself 😀 It is a crying shame that Midwest Homes/Critter Nation doesn't have such a video on their website. It is also a crying shame that so many of these cages apparently arrive damaged. For the price people pay, Midwest should do better. I HATE putting things together in general because I just do NOT have the spatial skills or hand/eye coordination or whatever most people seem to have and I will struggle and curse my way through putting just about anything together. And after reading so many stories of folks getting damaged cages shipped to them, I was kinda terrified to actually make the purchase. I mean, practically NOBODY is going to try to ship back such a heavy item if it is not just totally unacceptable and I think the company relies on that. Fortunately for me, once I did take the plunge, mine arrived with only very minor issues that did not require me to need to return it. At any rate, I got mine for a couple of rats and only got the single level because I know I can add on if I decide later I want a taller cage overall. YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!
Thank you so much, and I agree with you. I’m so thrilled you were able to get yours put together ok and I adore rats! They’re so misunderstood. I had pet rats until my late 20’s so I know how social and loving they are. 🥰
Love how this is still helping ppl to this day! Lol, I’m so so glad you’ve made this video it’s extremely helpful and much better than other assembly vids! I’m halfway finished (thnx to u.) My rats will be completely in love with the cage when they finally get to enjoy it 🥰!!
I'm just at the 10 minute mark and must tell you how much I appreciate your work here. Thank you for taking the time to do this. I am trying to figure this out for the first time and the one I've got is used, so the little details are already taken care of. Still, I'm lost. I know that I will be buying more of these enclosures though. I think I will take the time to do what you have done here when mine come in. I think I may put it on camera so it can be a help to others. Thank you for the inspiration.
That’s awesome to hear and I’m very appreciative of your kind remarks. You should definitely put it on camera to help out others, it’s very rewarding knowing you’ve helped someone. 💕
Thanks for this video! I have the same 182 model and I’m getting another double stacked ferret nation cage to merge with my 182. This really helped, since I assembled my 182 millions of years ago and I’ll have to disassemble it to remove two of the sides to connect it to the other cage.
I knows it's been 3 years since this upload but wanted to thank you. I love your video, it's so "real." I appreciate Ikea instructions so you had me at that 😂😂 my ferret nation will be delivered any minute now and I've just sat here and watched everything. You're a hero. Also I thought it was super sweet your son playing Minecraft with his friend. Our ferrets are named Flint and Steel because my kids are Minecraft junkies and my son forever has flint and steel for making fires 😂😂 again, thank you!
Just want to say thank and appreciate you taking the time to build the cage I got one today and glad I saw your video will be easy for me so thank you 😊
Twenty One Vultures TERRIFIC! I’m glad to hear that, it’s why I did the video. I couldn’t find a really good detailed one, so that’s the story behind it. 👍🏻
AMAZING VIDEO! really helpful but i wish the cage was a little closer ao we could see more of the details. otherwise i LOVED this video! thanks for making my little ones happy! ❤️
Thank you for this video so much because hopefully in the summer I’m getting a ferret and I’m going to watch this step-by-step as I’m building this cage I love you thank you so much
Assembled mine 4 days ago. You need a rubber mallet for tippy tapping and the occasional big push. The instruction booklet is quite good. Its a great product.
Thank you! Great video and cute ferrets! My FN cages didn’t come with washers or screws. Just ramp clips. My cages haven’t fallen apart in 9 years so I guess the “tool free” version is ok too. 😁
Thank you so much for doing this video I only have one struggle with it, the little orange block things you took out the door panels and back panels are so hard to take out i can’t even do it with a hammer!
Exactly what happened too our family we had 2 ferret one passed away then the other one was lonely so we gave it too another family that had alot of ferrets so she wouldn't be alone.. that was years ago. We recently just purchased 2 baby ferrets with a crappy 40 dollar cage. I said hell no we are going to get the best cage. We ended up ordering this cage it came Thursday and it was the wrong item. So now we are supposed too get the replacement CAGE today. We ended up getting this exact cage from the research I did..
Thank you! Had an emergency with one of my rats eating one it’s cage mates so I had separate the two that where still alive, I think it had something to do with not a big enough cage for them or when I switched there food, just got this cage and was gonna put it together but didn’t get the chance too before the incident, anyways thanks for the help in a dire situation lol
thank you so much! this really helped me!! but i think i am going to get someone to build it for me as I'm 11 years old lol i just wanted to watch this anyways though!! your ferrets are adorable!!
I know this is an old video so hopefully you see this but do you know if I can set it up without the bottom storage part with the wheels? I just got one but it’s too tall to fit where I was going to put it so I was hoping to just not set up that part to make space
I do not think there’s a way to configure it without the wheel base. You can change it to not include the upper cage if you need it shorter, but I know that’s not ideal because it takes away living space for your ferret.
I just got my Ferret Nation cage this morning. Watching your video helped so far but I can’t get the pegs in the bottom door section to fit in the places they are meant to go! I’m thinking I might have to dremel down the side of both pegs to get them to fully engage, using the rubber mallet didn’t work! I don’t know what else to do to get them to fit. It’s just me here putting it together.
@@BarkingMadLLC oh man, I didn’t see this til 7 months later! Yes I did. I used a grinder to grind the pegs down a bit and they fit nicely. I have 2 ferrets in there now.
Go to the hardware store and purchase a mallet, like I did. They are not an expensive item and a mallet will come in handy to have around the house in general.
@@patriciabelianska1533 I don’t know if the single units are designed to fit together. You would need to contact Ferret Nation and ask them as they’re the manufacturer and would give you the best answer.
I brought my cage home and I don’t know what I did with the hardware for it so I have to buy some more to be able to put my cage together What size is all the hardware that you need to put the cage together please help
imagine buying a 250 dollar ferret cage and it coming defected :'( Im so sorry it came defected, for some reason every video I watched says their cage came defected. I hope mine doesn't, its getting here later today.
I know you’re only building a cage but you really are a strong woman!!!
1- you noticed there wasn’t a tutorial so you took it into your own hands ( thank you this video will help me when my ferret nation comes Wednesday)
2- a boy mother.
3- a son with autism my niece has autism and I love her so much
Thank you so much! Your compliment means a lot to me :)
Thank you for being the first to actually show the set up process. This was very helpful!
Thank you so much I’m 19 I opened up the ferret nation fuck I was so confused all the pieces and parts. This video helped so much
So grateful thank you so much. My rescue rats. are going to love this space!
Thank you so much this helped me build my own

Love it! Thanks so much for letting me know!
Thank god for you!!!!! I cant thank you enough for this video! I'm horrible with written directions lol

I bought a ferret nation second hand and this helped me so much. Thank you!
Awesome to hear! Glad this video was helpful.
Thank you so much for this video I purchased a used for at least in cage today and had no instructions and was able to put it together extremely easily thanks to this video
Thank you, put one together today by watching your video. Didn’t even up the instructions.
That’s awesome to hear!
You saved what was left of my sanity at 28:20!!!! Thank you for the video 🙏

A hair dryer to plastic pans will help flatten them or leave them in the hot sun for several hours on flat driveway
Great tip, thank you! 🎉
This video is the only reason we could put ours together and all the problems you had we had lol
Thank you, that means a lot! Glad it helped.
Omg thank you soooooo much!
This came in handy big time ! Thank you again!
Nice
Letting you know the door if like that because when you open it you can take the door off and putt it back on

I hid my finger with hammer as well Lol, I have 2 ferrets for breeding I received from another breeder.

i’m struggling with the hooks that go on the ramp, the ramp that connects the 1st and 2nd floor, the hooks won’t line up with the ramp hooks
I’m unsure why that is. Did you get the small metal pieces that help them attach?
