I was at the mall Friday night and saw a rather silly toy which I'm sure would make some ferrets very happy. It was called a "Weazel Ball", and was a plastic ball (about baseball sized) that is battery operated and rolls around. These have been around for a couple of years, and have already become great toys for ferretdom. The new twist is that this one has a bit of striped fake fur with eyes attached to it, which they call a weazel. So when the ball rolls around, the "weazel" flops and twists and chases the ball. The box talks about how the ball is being "chased by the weazel". Rather amusing. I was highly tempted, but had a difficult time imagining my two geriatric ferrets would do anyting but ignore it, and my Corgis (dogs) would destroy it, so I passed. But, it was only $4.99, and I would bet most ferrets would go nuts over it. The one I saw was at K B Toys (or something like that - it's a rather large chain), in Christiana Mall, Newark, DE. It was a big display right in the front of the store. - Nancy [Posted in FML issue 2255]
