We ordered some items about 2.5 years ago (or so) and they were packed in
a box of shredded paper.  It seemed like a waste to throw out such a
potentially perfect ferret toy.  I no longer remember their initial
frenzied response to it since the box quickly became a place to wrestle and
to sleep.  All the ferrets take turns curling up in the box of paper to
this very day.
 
Two things you'll need to do are: pick of stray paper bits that escape the
box and fluff up the paper occasionally.  Other then that, it is a great
toy and nesting item.  I hope your fuszz's enjoy it as much as our's have.

I see you are posting from Cornell.  Have you tried right there on campus?
Cornell is, amongst other things, well known for veterinary medicine and
perhaps you could get a referral there.
 
The only vets I could suggest from personal experience are quite a trip
from Ithaca.
