Hi Crystal,
 
Some people recommend sterile potting soil.  I find it messy.  One thing
you could try is dry butterbeans.  They're large enough that the ferrets
can't eat them (some people use pinto beans but I'd be afraid they are
small enough to swallow).  Just a thought.
 
Regards,
Hawk & Patrick,
Salem, Faye, Bandit, Bowser and Bailey the ferts
Pyewacket the cat
and Smokey the African Grey
and introducing Azriel the grey haired, green eyed kitten.
Blessings to all animals great and small and those of us who love and
adore them.
