The safety of the ferret in the first place
To determine if a toy is safe for your ferret, examine it carefully before you buy.
Do not buy toys that have small parts that can be chewed or swallowed. In particular, the rubber toys are the most dangerous. the pieces, which would pass from the intestine, often do not because the rubber reacts to the strong digestive juices of the stomach of the ferret and the only solution is surgery to remove them. A ferret can also destroy certain parts of hard rubber. If instead it is a plush, attention to the eyes of plastic or noses that are sewn or glued. Ferrets can tear off easily. These parts, If ingested can cause obstructions in the gastrointestinal and the ferret may need surgery to remove pieces. Make sure all seams are well made and that the toy is made of a durable fabric. If your ferret is subject to chew the stuff, then the hard plastic toys will be for you. In addition to toys specifically designed for ferrets, try giving your ferret balls that play hard plastic, golf balls, bells and playground and ping pong balls. These can be great fun for your ferret ee difficult to break. Two words for precautionary: some toys for ferrets may not be so safe for your pet as they should be. In the selection of games for ferret use the same criteria you would use to choose any other toy animals.
The choice of toys
If your ferret has already had toys , then you probably already know that some like them and some do not. Buy lots of toys so that your ferret has a choice. Some ferrets like toys that can crawl around and then small animals and resistant cloth or plush toys for dogs will be perfect for this type of ferrets. For other ferrets like toys that can chase, as balls or toys that move by themselves. If you choose the latter, make sure they are not too heavy that it hurt your ferret. Some ferrets love toys that make noise. Toys that play with balls inside, toys that talk or play will be the perfect gift for them.
Present the gift to your ferret
Place the toy on the floor and see if the ferret shows any interest. If you will not come spontaneously to browse the toy, throw it gently before, but not him. In this way not receive the toy as a threat. In this way the curiosity of your ferret should come out and he will examine his new toy. Roll or throw the toy again some other time to show what your ferret is able to make the new toy.. If you do not yet show no interest, Do not despair. Probably at the moment will not want to play. If not show interest in a couple of days, put the game away and riproverete again in the future.
Rotation VS New Toys Toys
As children ferrets get tired of their toys. If you see that your stopped playing with some of her toys, remove them and store them in a box or a bag. Give your ferret new game and let us play until you get tired, then scambiateli with the old men who were put to one side. You may also make minor changes to the old toy so that he thinks that they are new. Try to put scented candles in the box with old toys, so they take a little of the smell of candles and stimulate his interest. Floral fragrances or desserts are the best. Do not use anything hot toys EVER NOT SPRAY YOUR FERRET WITH FRAGRANCES DEODORANT O LIQUIDE. Many air fresheners and scented oils can be toxic when your ferret lick toy and swallows the product. A safe alternative is instead to sprinkle toys with the beef broth powder or keep premiums for dogs inside the box which kept the old toys.
Is’ time to throw a toy
Most of the toys is consumed after a while these should be thrown away. All those toys that were very chewed, that have parts that come off, who have seen the padding and pulled out or are broken, can be dangerous for your pet. Although it is a favorite toy from your ferret, buttatelo via. Usually they are easily found similar toys with which to replace. If your ferret shows a strong interest in a toy taken for the first time, go buy a spare, so you can quickly replace when it's time to throw the old one. Buy toys double can also be useful when two or more ferrets like the same toy. They will try to rubarselo each other, but at least there are more chances of meeting all. In fact I've never seen ferrets fight for a toy, but I have seen them take them away furtively back and forth to each other. The only toys that I have seen ferrets fight between them are edible toys, come i “Cheweasels” and the “Foamy Fries”[we do not recommend them both because in Italy there have been rare cases of intestinal obstruction due to these types of games ndt]. Do not expect them to share with others. Otherwise premietto or cut in various parts, giving a piece to each ferret or they take a whole gum for everyone. Otherwise you will not have peace in your home. Some ferrets love to chew games such as Nylabones [bones for dogs buffalo leather / chicken / turkey ndt]. I “Petite Nylabones” or chewable rings are safe for ferrets and do not seem to ever run out.
