What Happens in Ferret Village...

is usually pretty amusing ;)

Yesterday I set up a dig box for the boys. I already had old aquarium sand and a container ($5 from Walmart), so this was a good deal for both me and the fuzzies.

I orginally got the idea from The Holistic Ferret Forum. This is great because it provides enrichment (ferrets are natural diggers) even when they can't go outside. You can also use dirt, soil (but not with styrofoam or fertilizers), towels, plastic balls (ping pong or kids ball room), pebbles, beans (but too big to ingest), or rice (but not instant, which could cause a blockage).

If you have any ferret enrichment ideas, please post them here or on the Texas Ferret Group Forum.

Take care!
