Of all the toys I have bought for my two boys, their favourite is a thick plastic shopping bag the toys came in. SIGH! Just like children, you spend days picking the perfect present and they spend all Christmas morning playing with the wrapping paper. My boys love to run in and out and in and out of the bag, pounce on the bag, take turns pouncing on each other in the bag, drag the bag around. They never chew or try to eat the bag, because then I would take it away. When they have exhausted all these options they sit in the bag and give me 'THE LOOK'. "Mum, come rustle the bag for us!" This sends them into a dooking frenzy, often they can't decide wether to pounce on the bag or my hand, and they often change their mind mid leap, with rather amusing consequences. They love their bag so much that I bought them a plastic tarp. This almost sent them into fun overload. The tarp had to be confiscated though, it was just too loud and they kept going to sleep in it. Trust me a ferret does not smell so sweet when he's been sleeping in a plastic cocoon. As the bag is a 'under supervision only toy' they have a few back ups. Tunnels are fun, but not as much fun as stealing Mummy s shoes, only the right one mind you, the left shoe is safe from them. They have their own shoes to drag around from one cunning hiding spot to the next, but there's apparently nothing quite like nicking a fresh one.
