Who said ferrets don't make fun outdoor pets? Ferrets love exploring nature just as much as humans do, and providing them with some outdoor fun time is a great way to keep them healthy, happy, and active! We always suggest keeping your ferret on a harness and leash or in a portable outdoor small pet playpen while outside. You can set up your playpen in different areas, but don't let your little ones roam independently- as they may end up lost.
Dig dig dig: There are a few fun ways to safely let your ferret dig, but one of our favorite is sandboxes. You can fill your sandbox with a variety of things. All natural sand, dirt (not potting soil- we don't want weird additives in it), and wood chips make fun digging textures for ferrets. Ferrets are diggers by nature and will absolutely love frolicking through a pile of dirt.
Climb a log: Ever found a big abandon log, or a piece of driftwood with all sorts of neat holes and such in it? Ferrets are easily entertained and very curious. Let them explore a big wooden object. They'll have a blast jumping over it, running through it, and exploring every nook and cranny.
Splash in a puddle: Just like little kids, ferrets love water. And they love splashing around! On a warm day take your little furred children out to play and let them bounce around in a shallow puddle. Make sure the puddle isn't too deep (or too muddy) and then let them play.
Play in tall grass: Tall uncut grass is so much fun! Ferrets love burrowing through tall weeds and have a blast chasing each other. Spend a few minutes letting your little loves chase each other around in a forest of grass.
Walk on a harness: There are specific harness and leash sets created for ferrets. They are the perfect safe way to let your ferret explore. You can take them on a walk, just like you would a dog.
