Almost anything can make a great ferret toy .  Ferrets love to play and the messier it is, the more fun they will have.  But one does not need to spend a lot of money to entertain their furry friend.  Here are a few ideas, but I am sure once  you start to think about it you will find loads of great things for your ferrets to play and explore all around your house.  

ROTATE
I recommend keeping a small open topped box that your ferrets can climb in and out of.  Place all of your ferrets toys in the box before you let them out for their play time.  They will quickly make a game of jumping in and out of the box to retrieve toys.  It is also wise to rotate through your toys.  Do not have all the toys in the box every time but switch them out for something new. This way there is always something unexpected for them to find.

DIG, DIG, DIG
Make a dig box.  You can fill a cardboard box that your ferret can climb in and out of, with starch packing peanuts or shredded paper.   Then stand back and watch the fun.  This game will get messy, so be prepared to sweep up the paper or peanuts when they are done.  It is well worth the mess, however.

FERRET FISHING
Get a small piece of fabric, a sock or small stuffed animal will work.  Tie a piece of yarn or string  securely around the middle of it.  This makes a great interactive toy you can use to go “fishing” for ferrets. Holding one end bounce and drag the sock near your furry friend. It will drive them wild. Warning: Never let them play with this toy on their own, or they can eat the string resulting in an intestinal blockage.

YA! PAPER BAG LAND
As I am sure you have noticed ferrets love to burrow.  Try giving them a paper bag filled with 5 or 6 socks. Just lay it on it's side and watch the fun.  Use old socks, as they may get chewed on quite a bit.  They will enjoy jumping on top of the bag as well as digging out the socks inside of it.  Just always check the bag for ferrets before moving it.  It makes a great place to sleep in as well.

WHATS THAT SMELL?
Try taking some of their old toys and making them new again by adding a smell.  All you need are some herbs from your spice rack.  Place about two table spoons of basil or another spice into a small zip lock bag.  Put the old toy in the bag and seal it up.  Shake the bag and rub it to get the sent rubbed into the toy.  Take the toy out of the bag and shake off the extra herbs. You have now created the “whats that smell?” game.  Your ferret will enjoy trying to figure out what the new sent is and will show renewed interest in the toy.

IMPORTANT :
Always check anything you give your ferrets for possible chocking hazards. They should not be able to break off pieces that they could swallow.  Always watch you ferrets when they are playing with these toys.  They are interactive toys for you and your ferrets to enjoy.  They are not for unmonitored cage use.
