When choosing ferret toys, there are several things to consider. First, your ferret's age. Young ferrets will need soft, squishy ferret toys that won't hurt their delicate skin. Adult ferrets will be happy with hard and sturdy toys that they can play with. Also, you need to choose something that is easy to clean up afterwards.
Suitable ferret toys: Ferret tunnels (often large plastic tubes with small holes cut into them so ferrets can enter and curl up). These come commercially available. The following toys are more suitable for older ferret pets: Plastic tubing with small holes, like a tube of toothpaste. Knotted cotton rope meant for large dogs. Socks tied tightly in a knot made from soft fabric.
Remember that while ferret toys are an important part of ferret ownership, they should not be your first choice when it comes to which item or items to introduce to your pet. In most cases, tunnel toys are a safe option because they are large and sturdy. The problem with these types of tunnels is that while they are safe, they may also be difficult to clean up afterwards. The only effective way to remove ferret feces is by surgically extracting them using a scalpel. Soft tunnels, on the other hand, can easily be cleaned by wiping them with a damp towel after every use.
Most household items made for cats can also be used as ferret toys, such as small wooden or plastic toys that are meant for a cat's playful nature. While they might seem similar, ferret toys made for cats do not have any sharp parts or pointed ends, making them safer to play with. Small rubber or plastic toys are another option, although they are usually harder to play with than the soft cat toys. Another advantage they have over cat toys is that ferret owners can also use them to teach the cat to walk on a leash without damaging the toy. This is very important because most ferrets are still very much wild and are unlikely to behave properly when playing with a played-out toy.
Homemade, or DIY ferret toys can be a great idea since they can be as creative as you want them to be. A good example of a good DIY ferret toy is a plastic milk container with a hole at the top and a bottom that are closed with a cork board. The hole in the top allows the ferret to drink from the plastic milk container and the hole at the bottom allows the ferret to escape through a different hole in the top of the milk container. These toys can be cut into smaller squares and stuck to the walls of a small cage, or the cardboard boxes.
You can also make your own ferret toys from items you already have around the house, like old socks. You should put these socks in large, zip-lock plastic bags. You will then need to take one sock, place it in one of the bags, close the other bag and tape it closed with a cork board. This is an excellent way to ferreting a sock and make it fun for your pet. You can also stick balloons, toys from cardboard boxes and old clothes inside the socks to create unique and creative ferret toys.
One of the best ferret toys available is a ferret hammock. These hammocks come in various sizes and can be purchased for under $20. They are made from durable plastic that can withstand the roughness of a ferret's claws. It is important that you get one that is large enough to accommodate your ferret; most hammocks are large enough to sleep four ferrets comfortably.
As you can see, there is no shortage of ferret toys to choose from. Some people prefer to make their ferret toys from durable plastic. If you do decide to do this, make sure that the toys you buy are of the highest quality possible, and are not harmful to your ferret. If you are going to be purchasing large-sized plastic toys, you may want to consider making them a group to keep your ferret safe.
