only $2.13 for 3 toys! I think I have discovered the best ever ferret toy set walmart sells. its a $2.13 dog toy set that comes with 3 hard rubber toys. the one i got for my kids comes with a barbell that has a bell inside of one end, a rubber ball that has a bell inside and a rubber ring. I gave it to them last night and they went nuts. only one of our 3 likes to stash things but much to my surprise it wasnt our thief that was trying her best to hide everything, it was our chubby girl. they are the best toys i have ever bought them. I'm going to get the other 2 sets like it. one of the sets has a bone shaped rubber toy and a ball and ring and the other has a rubber horseshoe with the ball and ring.

Unfortunately, I can't use anything with rubber. Boris will go at it til he gets a chunk of, then tries to eat it Even the dog toy ones!

I have the same issue as SherryLynne...my brats shred rubber including the hard rubber toys, ferret kong toys, etc.
By sure to let your ferts play with those toys under supervision only. Ferrrets can start out playing without tearing them up - but my kids tend to change their play habits once they get used to a toy. i.e., they don't start out shredding a new toy, they start up that behavior when they have the need to invent a new game.

I switch out types of their favorite toy every day. each ferret has at least 4 types of their favorite kind of toy, like 1 barbell can have treats in it, the other one has the bell, and one is hard plastic. I know they can change their minds so I check the toys every day and take them out of their cage when I'm gone for long periods of time. so far no issues. I also take the toys out when they are extremely playful and replace them with hard plastic toys. i watch these guys like a hawk. I'm even at the point of sleeping in the same room with them. thank you guys for the reminder. Its good to have people remind me of this stuff so i dont get lazy with it =)
