A good environment for your ferret is both safe and stimulating. Ferrets
are very curious creatures, and as such they have a tendency to get
themselves into danger, and the eagerness to explore everything. These critters curious to taste on drinking glasses, what's inside knock. Funny fuzzies over and under obstacles to escape to explore the other side. Mettlesome mustelids dancing joyfully around your feet, heedless of the giants around. The
key to a successful ferret environment to foster their curiosity and at
the same time protecting it from him, and that requires security,
surveillance, Time, and toys.
Supervision
Supervision is important. I am convinced in my ferrets cage when I'm asleep or not at home. Your cage is large and has several levels. I change their bedding once a week (or more if deserved). I clean her litter box daily, keep food in their bowls, and change their water every day (and twice in summer). Ferrets can get while in their cage just in so much danger. (Sometimes you hear reports of strange accidents in the cage. Ferrets are less common than unsupervised outside of their cage.) So, take care of your ferret.
Security
Now monitor your ferret is fine, but they are fast, so keep taking limits. I like acrylic because the ferrets can not scale. Before you roam ferrets in their play area, get down on hands and knees and look for holes, can slip into the ferret. My ferret discovered that when my dishwasher door is open, there is a hole under the lid, dishwasher, they can get into the cabinets. Ferrets can get into tiny openings. My husband jokes that they are two-dimensional. Make sure every place can get the ferret is safe. The glasses out of her reach, and remember some fearless ferret jump. There are no chairs or sofas chairs where ferrets can get them. Lying kill ferrets. Make sure ferrets can not get into your closets, I'm like magnetic locks. Check all window screens to ensure that they do not harm. Make sure their toys do not have a door opening outwards or be very careful about the door when it works.
Playing time
The next step to a good environment is to play with your ferret. Ferrets should be encouraged. You have to play. Put a large towel on the floor. Let's get the ferret to them, and slide them around on the floor. Tease your ferret with a toy spring, like a cat, the spring on a string. Chase your ferret and let them chase you. Play tug with them and a dog tug rope. Let the ferret chasing a remote control toy. (Be careful with this. My Ferret destroy the toy if they catch him.) Dance with your ferrets when they dance. Let them crawl through the blanket on the bed so that tunnel for them and shutting off tunnels. Train your ferret tricks and offers treats as a reward for success. Match and training are good ways to get your little guys' brains active.
Toys
Since you are not going to 100% of the time they are not playing with the ferret cages, make sure that ferrets have fun things without you having to do so. Put fun things for them in their cages and outside of their cage. Build or buy them crawl through pipes, or use the crinkly tunnel for cats made. Make them mazes. Give them to roll balls. Make puzzles for them. (Put a favorite toy into a container and let them find out how to get the toy.) How can I get it? They build a rice field to dig in. (Be the construction of a trench box. Use caution not a dusty material that could get stuck in the lungs.) Dig Put treats in their box so that they dig for treasures can. Let them "steal" some soft, small toys, so they can "stash" them....
