How to Make Your Own Ferret Toys
Ferrets love play time! They are actually very fun and simple to delight. When playing with your ferrets, it is unavoidable that you will need props or toys. Though you can purchase toys from the store, you may make some of your own! Here are one or two tips on how to make home-made toys.
have you got old film canisters at home? Fill it up with rice or sand ( just ensure you thoroughly clean the canister ) and make your pet find it. When they put it in their secret spot or favourite hiding place, transfer it to another spot. You can put ferret treats inside too.
Get a durable pussy toy. Place the kitty 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 two boxes, make sure they’re big enough for your pet to creep in. Connect the boxes using tubes. PVC pipes will work just great. You can also use drier hoses or water bottles as tunnels. Have your ferret go in the box and have fun.
Another sensible idea with boxes is to form a few’stations’ for your pet. You can do this by connecting several boxes with tubes and filling the boxes up with different materials. You may use balls, dust or toys. Some boxes might be empty and will serve as tunnels. Your pet will surely have fun 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 other side up so the ferret slides down. Just don’t do it too quickly, your ferret might get hurt.
Ferrets love digging thru anything! Help satisfy this natural craving by creating toys that they can dig through. Get a grow bag ( peat ) or fill up a sack 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 tiny fan and place it in a table. Ensure it is out of your ferret’s reach to avoid accidents. Tie a giant blanket over the fan and table, imitating a tent. Place heavy books on the corner to make it secure. Turn on the fan and let your ferrets have fun in their wind blown tent.
Your pet ferret, particularly if you have a kit will enjoy on this next toy. Braid 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 only enjoy, you are also getting good exercise.
These are only some ideas on the way to make your own toys. There are far more than twelve methods to do so. Just let your thoughts run free and remember to have a good time.
