that you can make or find around the house ? also , my ferret won`t eat anything but her ferret food, and i`ve tried all kinds of fruits and cucumbers ... any ideas ? :D
Answers:
Ferrets love boxes and bags...both paper and plastic. Don't worry...they won't suffocate playing with a plastic bag. :) They also LOVE toilet paper and paper towel rolls. If you want to get a little fancy you can make a "dig box". Get a cardboard box and cut four ferret size holes in each side about half way up the box. Fill the box with rice, ping pong balls, sand, etc., etc. They love it!
Ferrets are strictly meat eaters. Sometimes they like a bit of fruit or small pieces of crackers and pretzels. They should not be given in abundance. If all your ferret eats is ferret food its OK. It is better for her anyway. Why not try treats specifically made for ferrets? In my experience ferrets love FerriVite so you could also try that.
Good luck!
Things that roll and make noise are good, try putting some gravel in a film canister for her to roll around, or stuffing a sock with some cotton batting for her to wrestle with.
My 2 ferrets love Bandits treats. They come running when I bring them out. As far as other treats, they like peanut butter, one likes bananas, one likes raisins, and they both love lunch meat. You want to be careful, lake stated before, not to give too much non-ferret food so you do not make them sick.
As far as games, my female likes to push an ice cube around until it is gone. I'm not sure why, but she does! They also like the "Towell Game". Take a towell ans gently shake it over their heads. They will jump and grab at it, so be careful not to go too fast / hard to you do not injure them. Then, lower it to the ground, they'll jump on and roll on it. You can even drag the towell when they jump on for added fun.
Ferrets have short attention spans, so they'll only play each game for a little while. Have fun!!!
Ferrets love to play with anything they can hide in. Cut off a leg to a pair of jeans or an old pillowcase, even a boot is fun for them to play with, crawl inside and hide. Ferrets are meat eaters, but you can give them raisins as a treat or go to ferret store.com and you can find more treats and food ideas for them. Enjoy your little "fuzzies"
First of all, ferrets are carnivores and their bodies are not made to eat fruits and vegetables. But they do love raisins. They love to chase ping pong balls, and if you have the paper dixie cups you use in the bathroom try setting those up for the ferret to knock over. They also love plastic bags and cardboard boxes (espically if you cut a hole in it so they can hide in there). Another game I used to play with my ferrets I called popcorn. Take a blanket or comforter and just lift it up in the air and bring it down on the ferret over and over, they will usually try to catch it and they look so cute doing it. If you have someone else there, you can put the ferret on top of the blanket and toss her up in the air (gently and not very high). You can also make a dig box, its a rubbermaid bin filled with rice, dirt, or other things along those lines but not styrofaom peanuts. You can also put out a shallow plastic box with water in it and float some toys in the water, and have your ferret go fishing. I hope some of these work for you, and remember your ferret's favorite toy will always be you.
cat toys are good
You have great answers so far and all of them are perfect ferret toys. My 3 love tubes, you can buy flexible dryer hose but this can be expensive, try going to any carpet shop or floor specialists and ask if they have any empty carpet rolls you can have, they will usually give you these for free - my 3 ferts have these cut down into manageable sizes all over the house. Ferrets also love anything smelly so throw dirty socks on the floor or empty pizza boxes or basically anything smelly for them to have a good sniff at. Good luck xx
