You will soon be bringing a ferret into your home, and you have thoroughly researched all his care needs. This is how you found out that ferrets are active during their waking hours and love to play. How can you make the most of this time with your new little fur ball?

You will need to take the time to offer your pet plenty of activities to pass the time. In his enclosure, this should include toys he can play with on his own. During his supervised time outside of his enclosure, make a point to get him up and moving with some active play. Ferrets are quite smart, so feel free to gradually expand on the games you play. He will be particularly interested in activities that involve hunting and tunneling skills, as these are where he naturally excels.
