Old coat sleeves: These are really fun- especially with big fluffy parkas. Simply cuff of the sleeves and sew the ends shut so the 'stuffing' or 'down' doesn't fall out. The thick material should naturally stay kind of open, which will leave your ferret curious enough to wonder inside and dig it's way through.

Old blue jeans: Cut off the legs of an old pair of blue jeans and then sew them together to create an extra long tunnel. If you'd like you can glue plastic bracelets at the openings to keep them open instead of collapsing.

Flex Hose: You can find these at a home improvement store. They come in all shapes and sizes and make amazing long flexible (across the room, over the table, under the couch, to the ceiling) tunnels. They are versatile, durable, and hold up with even the most hyper ferrets. We love these and use them avidly throughout our ferret play areas.
