Food dishes for a ferret from the pet shop can be a bit expensive, and quite honestly you can make the same product with things you can find at a local thrift shop, dollar store, or even your kitchen cabinets.

Tupperware Containers: The small tupperware containers, specifically made for sandwiches, are the perfect height and size for a ferret.
Toddler Food Dishes: Any small plastic bowls for children make great ferret dishes. Not only are they durable, they're virtually chew-proof and they're shallow enough for a ferret to eat out of.
Plastic Cup: Take a piece of string and tie a short plastic cup (child's size) to the side of the cage. This is a perfect place for water. Not only are these cups disposable, when you tie them to the side they won't tip over and make a mess everywhere. Perfect water area for ferrets!
Glass Unused Ash Trays: Search around your local dollar store or thrift shop for an unused ash tray. These glass objects are heavy enough to withstand a ferret's frolicking and are usually pretty easy to clean! They're also just the right size for a serving of dried ferret food.
