My wife and I are always amazed that no matter how big or small the plastic
bag, my guys seem to always go right for the "handles" in them.  It's like
there are ferret magnets in those handles.  We've learned to always cut the
handles with a sissors before putting them down for the ferrets to play in.
 
For the ferrets,
Mike
