The short answer is yes, but....... if there is a wire bottom to the cage then that is not recommended as it will cause sores on the ferret's feet. You can put something down to cover the wire or you can just try to get a cage with a smooth bottom. Hope this helps. If you want to post again with a photo of what specific type of cage you want to get we can maybe help you better. Best wishes.
