Since most squeaky toys are of a rubbery like material, it would not be a
good idea to allow your ferrets to play with them. The toy doesn't need to
make a specific type of noise. Any dog squeaky toy should do the trick.
Hopefully, they have a treat which they would kill to get. Squeak the toy,
give 'em a treat. Do that a few times and pretty soon you'll have ferrets
that will come a runnin' when they hear that squeak. It's really handy to
have them trained to that. Whenever I can't find mine, I squeak and they
appear.
For the ferrets,
Mike
