Have a look at these 5 ferret games that you can use to take playtime up a gear…
Ferret Game 1 – Tug ‘O’ War
Grab your ferrets favourite toy and waggle it in front of them. As they grab hold of it you can enjoy a tug of war match to see who wins. Keep play light and good spirited, things shouldn’t be aggressive.
Ferret Game 2 – Ferret Tag
Get your ferrets attention and then run off! Simple. You ferret will likely dash after out of curiosity. You can also stop and head back towards them and watch them scarper. Let them have pat and relax after.
Ferret Game 3 – Ferret dig dig
Get a really big box and fill it with screwed up paper balls. You then hide a treat inside and let your ferret try to find it. Your ferret will absolutely love this.
Ferret Game 4 – Ferret fly fishing
This is one of my favourite games. Attach a ferret treat to some thread and attach the thread to a small pole. Bob it about around your ferret so they hop after it and try to get hold of it.
Ferret Game 5 – Ferret Ping-Pong
Grab a ping pong ball bounce it around in front of your ferret on a hard floor. Your ferret will enjoy pounding after the ball and you’ll be able to join in competing to get it first. All around good play.
