Ferrets love play time! They are basically very fun and easy to please. While playing with your ferrets, it is inevitable that you’re going to need props or toys. Although you can purchase toys from the store, you can also make some of your own! Here are one or two pointers on how to make home-made toys.
have you got old film canisters at home? Fill it up with rice or sand ( just make sure you thoroughly clean the canister ) and make your pet find it. When they place it in their secret spot or favourite hiding place, transfer it to another spot. You can put ferret treats within also.
Get a sturdy kitty toy. Place the cat toy on a stick. Ensure you remove the catnip before giving it to your pet. Fill the toy with ferret treats and watch your ferret go bozo!
Ferrets love playing in tunnels! Get 2 boxes, confirm they are sufficiently big for your pet to crawl in. Connect the boxes using tubes. PVC pipes will work just great. You may also use drier hoses or water bottles as tunnels. Have your ferret go in the box and have some fun.
Another sensible idea with boxes is to make a couple of’stations’ for your pet. You can do this by connecting one or two boxes with tubes and filling the boxes up with different materials. You can use balls, dirt or toys. Some boxes could be empty and will serve as tunnels. Your pet will surely have a good time running and digging in the homemade play pen.
have you got a long piece of PVC pipe or a smooth plastic tube? Make a ferret slide then. You can place your pet on one end and then tilt the opposite side up so the ferret slides down. Do not do it too fast, your ferret might get hurt.
Ferrets love digging through anything! Help satisfy this natural craving by creating toys that they can dig thru. Get a grow bag ( peat ) or fill up a bag with sand. Cut a hole on top of the sack, place your ferret and watch them dig and have some fun.
Have your pets play in a wind blown tent! Have a small fan and place it in a table. Make sure it is out of your ferret’s reach to avoid accidents. Tie a big blanket over the fan and table, imitating a tent. Place heavy books on the corner to make it secure. Switch on the fan and let your ferrets have a great time in their wind blown tent.
Your pet ferret, especially if you’ve got a kit will enjoy on this next toy. Plat cotton tightly or have nylon rope dog toys which are of medium sized be bitten by your pets. By doing this, your ferret is enjoying and having its teeth cleaned at the same time.
Tie toys or anything that you think will catch your pet’s attention and tie it on a long piece of rope or a string. Run round the house and watch your ferret chase you. Your ferret won’t just enjoy, you are also getting useful exercise.
These are only some ideas on the easy way to make your own toys. There are way more than a dozen ways to do so. Just let your imagination go crazy and do not forget to have some fun.
