I want to (per suggestions ) set up several foraging cups around the room and in Koda's cage. However, I really don't have the money to go and buy a hundred new toys. I would like to think of some creative ideas to create my own "foraging cups" and puzzles. If anyone has any ideas that would be fantastic! I will post any ideas I think of as well, and how well they work.

Wrapping them up in balls of paper! Treat in the middle, page crumbled around it. Toss him maybe a dozen, with treats in 7 of the crumbled up balls.

I don't think he likes the dried chicken, but I put some in his cage so that he will maybe eat some tonight. I can now see how switching a ferret could be frustrating. He doesn't want to eat anything that does not resemble raw meat or whole prey! (Unless it is something not meant to be food...like erasers and electric cords of course ). A good thing and a bad thing! Sherrylynne - once oyu gave me a link to a good place to get Freeze dried, Stella and Chewy's or Casey's Pantry or something. There was a sample pack and some other choices. Do you still have that link?

Do NOT do the toilet paper roll thing!!!!!
My Kachina got her head stuck in a toilet paper roll - She was stuck for maybe a minute - but she lost it, started passing out and blew blood out of her nose after I rescued her...I was in the room supervising play time when Kachina found and old roll of toilet paper stuff in the back of my drawer....it was there from one of my first two ferts, and it will ALWAYS be there. My little Schizto had a toilet paper fetish and hid rolls of toilet paper in my drawers. I have to keep one of those rolls he stashed. Anyway, she crammed her head into the roll of TP and could not get out - she panicked then started fainting. I was hearing rustling noie in the drawer - and then they suddenly stopped. I opened the drawer and immediately picked Kachina up and pulled the TP roll off her head. SHe was fine for about 30 seconds. Then she she sneezed blood out of her nose as started passing out. I was freaking ouy thinking she was dying.....I was holding her close and keeping her warm - within a minute she was fine...the next thing I know she's jumping off the bed as racing around the room in a game of tag as though nothing happened.
Knowing how talented Koda i at getting into trouble, I strongly recommend not TP rolls!!!!!
