How to Make Your Own Ferret Toys
Ferrets love play time! They are essentially very fun and simple to please. When playing with your ferrets, it is inescapable that you’re going to need props or toys. Though you can buy toys from the store, you can also make some of your own! Here are a few tips on how to make home-made toys.
do you have old film canisters at home? Fill it up with rice or sand ( just make sure you comprehensively 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 also.
Get a sturdy kitty toy. Place the kitty toy on a stick. Ensure you take away 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 a couple of 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 use drier hoses or water bottles as tunnels. Have your ferret go in the box and have fun.
Another good idea with boxes is to form 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 may use balls, dirt or toys. Some boxes might be empty and will serve as tunnels. Your pet will surely have a good time running and digging in the homemade play pen.
do you have 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 that the ferret slides down. Just don’t do it too fast, your ferret might get hurt.
Ferrets love digging thru anything! Help satisfy this natural craving by making toys that they can dig through. 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 fun.
Have your pets play in a wind blown tent! Have a tiny fan and place it in a table. Confirm 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. Switch on the fan and let your ferrets have a great time in their wind blown tent.
Your pet ferret, particularly if you have got a kit will enjoy on this next toy. Braid cotton firmly 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 around the house and watch your ferret chase you. Your ferret won’t just enjoy, you are also getting good exercise.
