My ferrets favorite household item is the recycle bin. I keep it in the hallway, and we are very careful to only place items that are ferret safe in it. (we keep a separate bag for other items) My ferrets love to plunge in and root through everything, and best of all, it changes every day, so they're never bored with it. The most favorite item is plastic bottles. We are sure to put the lids back on, as some of these can trap a head and smother. It is truely hilarious to watch a ferret dig through find a bottle and work to get it out of the bin, then triumphantly run down the hall dragging it to the hidey hole. Yes they have even done the big milk jugs....some feat! Every so often, we have to clear out the hidey hole, and then the cycle starts again. The record for plastic bottles at our house is kept by El Bandito (RIP) who in one month stashed 21 water,soda and juice bottles in his two favorite spots.just like kids like to play with the box, so do furkids, don't underestimate the fun of an old soda case.
