Providing a variety of stimulating and safe toys is a great way to keep your ferret entertained and happy. Ferrets will play with almost anything, but it is important to pick toys that are durable and won't pose a safety hazard to your pet. Swallowing pieces and parts of toys is one of the most serious dangers to your ferret when it comes to toys.
Ferrets seem especially prone to intestinal blockages from swallowed foreign bodies.
Make sure any toys they have are as ferret safe as possible, and regularly inspect toys for any wear or loose parts, and discard any that are coming apart. It isn't worth taking risks. Tennis balls, racquetballs, and hard plastic balls. Balls with bells or other noisemakers inside are often favorites. Large ferret balls with holes in them so the ferret can climb in and out.
