Cheap Ferret Toys
Author: Jacqui Bennett
- Trousers can be used as tunnels at play time. A single trouser leg cut off and sewn closed at one end can be hung as a sleep sack.
- Old jumpers and coats with buttons removed make great bedding.
- Take a toilet roll tube and tape up one end, put a treat in and watch ferrets go mad trying to get it out.
- Non-instant rice, packing peanuts that dissolve in water and scrunched up paper all make good fillers for dig boxes. Throw in some treats and they'll go digging for them.
- Charity shops sometimes have animal toys, check them thoroughly for bits hanging off before buying.
- Toys that are getting worn can be put in a tied-off sock.
- Three or four plastic carrier bags placed inside a tied off sock make a fun noisy toy.
- Plastic easter eggs left over from easter can have dried pasta or rice put inside and then glued shut for a rattle toy.
- Cut-offs from drain pipes and dryer hose make play tubes.
- Cut holes in cardboard boxes and link them using tubing.
- 2-litre pop bottles can be used to make tubing. Cut the ends off and cover the sharp plastic with gaffa tape, join them together to make long tubes and watch the fun.
- A big tub of soil, while messy, is loads of fun to dig and wrestle in.
- In hotter times, a shallow tray of water is fun and cooling, also very messy.
