My 9 month old angora ferret seems to like to chew and eat fabric, plastic
and even paper, which I realize is not a good thing.  I have read about
this behavior but never had a ferret that liked to partake.  I don't leave
much lying around for her to get at but I just recently discovered she had
chewed a rather large hole in the blanket on my bed, and that's not
something I can keep her from.  I don't think she has chewed any of her
bedding in her cage though.  I give her chew weasels on a regular basis to
satisfy the urge to chew, but there is still some attraction to fabric and
plastic.
 
She has not had a blockage problem at all, but I know this is a big concern
(I had one of my ferrets die of this).
 
Any words of wisdom or advice from anyone that has been through this would
be helpful and appreciated.
 
THANKS!
