Ferret toys are not a simple matter of grabbing something, throwing it at your ferret, and seeing if he or she enjoys playing with it. It requires a bit more thought than that as many toys aren’t very safe for your ferret. You may also find yourself running out for more ferret toys weekly if you choose the wrong ones.
You should know by now that ferrets lack any concept of the term restraint. If you give them something that isn’t extremely durable, the ferret toys will be battered, bruised, and broken in record time. If you’re in doubt, think about whether it’d survive a bout with an infant during the "terrible twos." If it wouldn’t, continue your search.
Generally I’ll cover safety first, but there was a point on durability that will help you understand safety better. Most of the safety hazards with ferret toys consist of the danger of choking or swallowing. If it’s small enough to swallow whole, avoid it. If it’s soft and has a lot of give to it, avoid it. If you give them any rubber toys, nine times out of ten they will chew it up and may swallow parts of it. If they’re able to break it, it will be broken and then become not only a cash suck but the pieces will be a safety hazard as well. This may seem simple, but you can’t be there to supervise 24/7, and even if you could, no one really wants to try the Heimlich maneuver on a ferret.
Treat your ferret like you would an infant. If you wouldn’t give it to your baby, don’t give it to your ferret. They have roughly the same mindset towards playing, which gives you ideas on both what to avoid as well as what they may find interesting.
Good luck in your search for ferret toys.
