Let’s dive in…
Great ferret guides
Ferret games are a great way of bonding with your ferret. It’s great to always have a great ferret game to pull out when you need it. This will help good bonding between you and your ferret.
It’s important to treat ferret games as a bit fun and not make them too serious or too aggressive. Use it as a way to connect and play.
Let’s take a peak at some of the most enjoyable games you and your ferrets can play together…
Ferret Game 1 – Tug ‘O’ War
Grab your ferrets favourite toy and waggle it in front of them. When your ferret get’s hold of you can pull back and see whose the strongest. Play should be good hearted, and not too boisterous.
Ferret Game 2 – Ferret Tag
Get your ferrets attention and then run off! Simple. Most ferrets will dash after you to find out what’s going on. You can also stop and head back towards them and watch them scarper. Then have a cuddle after.
Ferret Game 3 – Ferret dig dig
Get a really big box and fill it with screwed up paper balls. Place a tasty snack in the box and let them rummage to get it. Your ferret will really enjoy it.
Ferret Game 4 – Ferret fly fishing
This is one of my favourite games. Tie a nice ferret treat to a meter long piece of cotton and then attach that to a small pole. Dangle it for you ferret to go after it and then let it bob around and watch them go for it even more.
Ferret Game 5 – Ferret Ping-Pong
Grab a ping pong ball bounce it around in front of your ferret on a hard floor. They will love chasing it and trying to trap it and you can try to grab it before they get hold of it. Really top fun.
Go ahead and come up with your ferret games of your own making?
