Gina, congratulations on finding one of the greatest toys for a ferret... dryer hoses and other tube-like thing. Just, please be careful with dryer hoses as some ferrets (like our Squirt who loves anything plastic) might chew on the ends and either swallow bits or expose the spiral wire inside the hose (of course, yours might be constructed differently, but I'm just going by the ones that I've seen). We've found that large, heavy, cardboard tubes work well for us too. The ones we have are very thick and our little fuzzbeans can't really chew on them (of course, we have *WAY* too many cardboard tubes to make walking around in the spare bedroom safe!) Anyway, just a few thoughts, Mike - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Michael C.
