My ferrets LOVE all thngs made of palm straw: the long straws that come
from around a coconut. The hair is lovely natural material to play with.
I buy items made of that stuff for them. Yhey have their own butterfly-
model in their outdoor cage and they scratch themselves on it. They
climb upon it, brooms are long hair toys for them. They smell wonderfull
to them. I even have one layin before my front door to clean ouor shoes
before we get in the house, but my ferrets think it s their toy. Then
they loose their hair they rub it off on those things.
I let them keep it: the natural fibre doesn t seem to be of any harm for
them, although all palm fibre material is sprayed in with an anti flee
lotion.
I bet that they rub them off as well as their loose hair
