I just got my first ferret last week.  And I love him dearly.  We go
everywhere together.  He gets a lot of time out of his cage.  He's 8 months
old.  I live in a small apartment, so the cage is in the room I sleep in.  I
hear the little guy trying to get out at around 5 or 6 each morning.  I will
not go over there, because I don't want him to get his way, he then settles
down in about 40- 60 minutes of so, but what can I do to make him sleep
longer?  Or to entertain him in his cage.  I have a ball in there, but he's
more interested in scratch the floor or biting the door to get out.  Do
ferrets use wheels?  Like a hedgehog or hamster?  Any hints would be
helpful.
 
Thank you,
 
Jill
