I love playing with my male cat, but I have no clue on how to play with ferrets? Any tips? Ideas to make home made toys? Oh I just got two ferrets both a year old a few days ago
Ferrets are bundles of energy so they love lots of active play! Making toys is easy, cheap and satisfying so here are a few things you could try....
1. The basic toilet roll! A finished toilet roll can provide loads of entertainment for you and your fuzzie, just chase them with it, let them run through it, connect a few together - whatever you like.
2. A plastic bag! Simple and hilarious :) they adore plastic bags to burrow through and play in, just make sure you cut theto play handles off and ALWAYS supervise closely when playing with a bag.
3. Cardboard castle! Sellotape a few empty boxes together and make holes between them. Your fuzzbutss will spend hours exploring and you can change it every few days to make it even more interesting! Just add balls of scrunched up paper, or balls of paper hanging from string, or even a few toilet rolls.
4. Old items of clothing are great, and they especially love socks! You can also play with old t-shirts, blankets, trousers, blankets etc.
ferrets love playing with you, so get on the floor, chase them around and provide them with lots of toys (homemade are just as good as boughtto play ones!).
Remember that they need at least 2 - 3 hours of active play every day to stay healthy and to prevent boredom (which can cause behavioural issues e.g. biting). Constantly talk to them and handle them to make their day :) and if the jump around and make the noise 'dookdook!' they are having loads of fun.
Hope this helped and have fun with your new fuzzicles! :D
You may play with him however you would like. Toys (feathers and food balls, etc.) are funner for young active ferrets and if you have a calmer one, you can just let him be your little lap pet and just sit there and pet him. Either one is quit apppealing
