I bought several of the "accordian" tubes for my fuzzbutts and they LOVE
them.  I have them in my living room running around half of the perimeter
of the room.  Tubes run behind my couch, under my plant stands, and to the
opposite corner under my desk.  I use the elbow connectors and the round
balls with the holes for connecting/entrances in between and on the end
for more access to them.  They play in them everyday.  It is hilarious to
see Merry run really fast through them and when she's real excited her
tail twirls like a propeller!!!!  It's so funny.  Pippin loves to scooch
on his back through them and hang out the ends upside down.  They chase
each other in and out barreling through and like it when I run my hand
along the top and Pippin races me.  I recently adopted a 1 year old kitty
Bandit, and my sock monsters use the tubes to gain advantage over him.
It is too cute the way they play together and Bandit sticks his head in
the ball's entrance and meows for them.  If you have other pets, the tubes
are great to give the ferrets a secure way to get around the room and nice
hiding spots.  Although beware if they decide to hang out in the middle of
a tube and you want to catch your fert - it can be difficult to get them
out.  I've had to take my whole contraption apart and shimmy Miss Merry
out more than once.  Overall they are great and help satisfy the ferrets
natural instinct to tunnel.  I have to get my website going so I can post
the funny pictures I have of all the ferts romping with the kitty.  The
boys became fast friends and while Merry still has to come around I don't
have to worry at all.  She shows both those boys who's BOSS!  It's funny
because she's a little bitty thing and the kitty is afraid of her!  She
has her fun chasing him in the morning and pretty much ignores him after
that unless he approaches her.  So all's well that ends well in my zoo!
Best wishes to all and prayers for speedy recovery to all the sick and
lost fuzzies out there.  Trish & her sensational six
 
Dooks!  Merry & Pippin
