>Any good ideas to keep those fuzzies occupied and happy? ( It would be >wonderful if some of you would post your fuzzies favorite activities to >share with all of us) Bob Church and a number of other people have come up with some really cool games to play with your ferrets. The FML is online now and it's *searchable*, so you can look through old issues for all sorts of ideas. The biggest thing that seems to make a difference to my ferrets is rotating toys, playing games *with* them (dragging towels, plastic bags, even the dryer hose) and changing something about the toys or environment they have. Anything new is intensely interesting. Heck, I put a diningroom chair in the livingroom and you'd think I'd bought a new toy for them! They play on the chairs in the diningroom all the time, but since it was in an unusal place, suddenly it was interesting all over again. I also hide toys for a while and then bring them out again. Cardboard boxes and tubes of all kinds are fun, but I find they take up a lot of room. Usually I'll turn a new box into a toy then throw it away when they seem bored with it. That way I don't have to walk around it forever. I also find that when the dryer hose gets boring stretched out in a straight line, that tieing it into knots makes it interesting all over again. Stuffed into a box makes it new again, too. Mine like it when I grab the end and roll it back and forth and drag it around. For some reason, jumping into a moving hose is more interesting than one that sits still! :) Anyway, I'm sure you'll find lots of great suggestions. --Barb-- [Posted in FML issue 2328]
