Fun toys are plastic sewer pipe, dryer vent hoses, practice golf balls. Use caution if your ferrets play with ping pong balls. They can chew them up, and ingest small pieces causing a blockage of the intestine. Some ferrets like a toy attached to a string which is attached to a stick-like a fishing pole. Do not allow your ferret to play with rubber cat toys, rubber bands, latex cleaning gloves, shoe inserts, or sneakers.
