Please be very careful with giving your "kids" ferret spheres or any toy
that has only one entrance hole!  There have been several reports of ferrets
falling asleep inside these things in such a position that they cover the
hole with their body and end up suffocating themselves.  Whatever
container-type objects you give your ferrets to play with, make sure it has
air holes drilled all over it!  (And if you use an empty milk jug, like I
did, make sure your husband doesn't try to toss it in the recycling bin!)
Cheers, Judith Sanders
