Feather Chaser: Simply take a few all natural feathers (don't use dyed ones from a craft shop, as they tend to have chemicals- instead look for chicken feathers that are not artificially colored) and tie them onto a string. Drag it across the room and wah-lah your little furry will be inspired to chase, pounce, bite, and tear into your little fake birdie. With natural feathers you can also let your little critter use them as a chew toy. They're 100% safe and edible for ferrets.


Furball Chaser: Take a bit of faux or real fur and glue it in a circle to the end of a rope. Just as with the feather toy you can drag this around and let your little critter wrestle it down. 

Cat Toys: Cat toys make great ferret toys. Plastic balls, cloth mouse toys, anything dangling, and pompom balls make amazing ferret toys. Most cat toys are made to inspire hunter instinct, and they can play the same role for ferrets. We love that!

Ping Pong Balls: Ping pong balls are light-weight and move easily. Your ferret will have a blast chasing these around, and because they cannot easily grip them with their teeth it will be a true challenge to chase these bouncing objects down.
