I had a rice box a while ago. Out of 6 ferrets, 1 of them ate the rice. The rice in her poop had not expanded, as long as you use regular non-instant rice. However, her poop was FULL of rice. I was worried that she wasn't eating enough "real" food. Someone also thought it was a litter box. So, we got rid of the rice box. Last night I was at the Stop N' Shop and saw that all of their Easter stuff was 75% off, including the plastic easter eggs. For $10 I bought enough plastic easter eggs to fill a 2 ft x 1.2 ft x 1.2 ft box. The eggs are too big to eat, and I remember someone using ping-pong balls. We'll see how they like it today.
