So - Sharron, wife of Richard, how was last night's rice dinner?  Or did
the scuba tank cleaning send it all to the far corners of the room?
 
Someone I work with suggested I could cook my ferrets play rice too!  No!
They want every grain!  And who DID first start the rice idea?
 
Actually, your only problem Richard, was the depth of the container.  Just
find something deeper.  We use a plastic storage tub with a lid.  I like to
play with the ferrets in the tub, so only put the lid on when the ferrets
go to bed and the cat gets the room.  Many people cut a round hole in the
tub, up near the top, and keep the lid on.
 
We had the same problem when using sand.  I put it in their wading pool,
and ferrets flowed in and out, dragging sand with them - not to mention
that which was kicked and/or flung out.
 
Remember how much they LOVED it, and that no amount of effort on your part
is too great a price to pay for their enjoyment!
