Has anyone tried dragging one of the tubes behind them for the ferrets, kind of like towel drag? Mine have a blast, running in and out, chasing each other around it. I use one of the twenty foot ones, with a knot tied in the middle, dragging both ends for them. They'll run in one end, up and around the knot I'm holding, and down the other end, and lay in wait for their friends  |

YES!!!! I love to hold the tube toward the middle so there are 2 entrances - it's a classic!!!!! It's hilarious to watch my Shaman play in tunnels. He's a nut-case to begin with, and he's too big to run tough tubes quickly. He can get through them in the summer if he goes slowly and carefully compresses himself. If he gets too excited, he gets stuckDuring the winter, he just can't fit in those dryer tubes. He gets part way into the tunnel and it just compresses. So he backs out, grabs the tunnel and runs backwards to stretch it out again, and then repeats the process. It drives him wild to watch the girls zip through. (Tonto has to go slowly too.) So, in the winter, Shaman has to resort to war dancing outside the tunels -jennifer |

I love doing that Sometimes when they are in there longer tube, I will drag it with them in it! Then I put it down and they all run out wardancing and attacking me and each other! Pan sometimes bites the edge of the tube while riding in it We also pick up the ends of the tube so they all fight for the middle Derek and I also do something we call the "ferret cannon". We have a thick cardboard tube (got it from work when the cage paper ran out that was connected to it). It's kinda short and doesn't bend at all (it's about 2-3ft long). They go inside (they fit, but it's a tight squeeze) and we pick it up a little off the ground, aim it at another floof, and shot the floof inside at them! They go CRAZY when we do this and will even get back in the tube like they are saying "AGAIN, AGAIN!" |

That "ferret cannon" sounds like a blast  |

That would be great! Maybe I can find something similar. My original 4 any would love it But then- they've always been too adventurous for their own good |
