Ferret games for Cocoa, Peanut, Fuzzy and Cookie...
My group has two favorite *amustelment* rides at our Ferret Fun House.  For
both of these games Mom (me) plays *motor*.  The first ride involves an old
nylon sleeping bag, partially zipped.  I drag the bag by the foot-end, back
and forth across the length of the cement basement floor at a fast walking
speed while all four fuzzies run and jump to "ride" the bag.  This makes for
a lot of slippin' and slidin' and fur-a-flyin' fun!  Some fert always runs
behind and does a flying leap for a tackle and somebody is always sliding
off.
 
Another basement *amustelment* ride is taking one of those large plastic
outdoor furniture (chair) covers and holding it upside down.  Insert four
ferts and hold up a couple of inches off of floor while swaying it gently in
short strokes.  It's like being in a giant crinkle sack and the noise it
makes as the fuzzies move around and fall all over each other makes 'em
nuts!  After a couple of seconds, release the 'butts and watch em run and
chase each other.  I know they like it because they come right back again
for another ride.
 
Usually these games poop Mom out WAY before the furkids, of course!
