Any good ideas for homemade ferret toys?

Question

I'd like to make some fun stuff my 7 ferrets to play in or with, any ideas?

Answer 1

This might sound a bit nasty, but most of my ferrets love this. Take a sock you've worn, not a fresh one(matter of fact, the smellier the better, so you might want to get someone to donate one for the good cause, lol), and put one of those jingle balls in it and tie a knot in it. Ferrets are very odor oriented, their sense of smell is probably the most important of their senses. And most of them like noises like squeaky toys and jingle bells.
Once in a while I take a deep rectangular cake pan and fill it with water and let my four dive for treats and rescue their floating toys. They have fun with it. Just make sure you get something heavy enough so they cannot tip it over, because they'll try.
Offer them towel rides. Take a big beach towel and drag it along the floor in front of them. They should just jump aboard after a little while. Drag them around on the towel for a while, speeding up occasionally and making sharp turns. Keep dragging and pulling until they either all climbed up the towel or until they all fell off.
Get a slick board(big enough to lean against your couch or chair) and add a drop of Ferretone in the center, tada.......instant Weasel slide.
Collect card board boxes and cut holes in them and stack them on top of each other. I stalple them together so the Weasel castle doesn't fall apart( I don't like using clue in semi-closed in spaces like this because of the fumes).
Get a Rubbermaid box and fill it halfway full of rice. Ferrets love to dig in it. You can actually put the lid on it and cut a hole into the center of it to help prevent some of the rice that may spill out during the heat of the moment.
Get a tray, like a cookie tray or a TV dinner tray and put ice cubes on it. They can be just plain ice cubes or cubes with Ferretone or food particles (Chicken baby food)or treats in them. One of my ferts really likes this.
The possiblities are endless.

Answer 4

A nice sized cardboard box; insert some golf balls, or small ping pong balls or plastic balls( even paper balls)....add ferrets and enjoy!

Answer 5

Any big tube and ball. Make sure they're non-toxic in case they chew on them. Grapes are good. They'll play with them & then eat them.
