Thanks for the Ferret Games list, Bob! I loved it. ;) Definately don't forget poster tubes! Poster tubes come in a variety of diameters and lengths. Our kids *absolutely* love them. The poster tubes are much sturdier than wrapping paper tubes and so are more resistant to chewers and diggers. You can get them free if you keep your eyes open at work. (I got about a dozen of them at my last job and I'm sure the security guards must have thought I was some corporate spy!) Carpet rolls are bigger cousins to poster tubes, but you could probably pick up some of these for free as well. Our kids are definately being enviornmentally conscious by taking the second "R" of "Reduce, Re-use, and Recycle" to heart. They re-use bags (paper and plastic), cardboard boxes, poster and other shipping tubes, a box of shredded paper and so on. The best toys are those that are free. -kim, squirt (ambushes the others when they come out of a tube), pippi (queen of the cardboard castle), atlas (does the "alligator" - any fert or finger foolish enough to come into the tube w/ his mouth wide open gets a chomp), and Jinx (tubes are "ferret accelerators" - kind of like particle accelerators.)
