1: Go to the nearest hardware store and buy a few inches of ball-chain. The type that is common on banks stay-put pens (don't steal it from the bank!). There are different types to choose from, so pick the style you like best. 2: Also buy the little clip so you can connect the ends of the ball-chain to make into a collar. Now you can attach a little bell or a nametag if you'd like to. A good way of doing that is with a miniature key ring that you pull the ball-chain thru. Now you should have a nice and safe ferret collar that only cost you a fraction of a regular collar to make! Good luck!
