Just a little word of warning about vellux blankets.  Our ferrets find them
tempting and actually chew large holes out of them.  The blankets have all
been discarded because of the chance of blockages.  Of course, other
ferrets may not be interested in them at all.  Might be a good idea to keep
a close eye on them when you first start using the blankets though.
