Ferret Cage Accessories
Your ferret probably spends the majority of its time in a cage, so you will want to make sure they are comfortable in it.

Your ferret can relax in a sleeping bag or hammock, or hideaway in hanging beds or tents. You may also want to try different bedding choices such as recycled paper or corn cob bedding to reduce odors.
Ferrets can even be trained to use a smaller litter boxes either in their cage to make clean-up easier our outside their cage to allow them the run around the house. If you are worried about that ferret smell, you can try one of the special deodorizers made for ferrets.
Ferret Toys
Your ferret will also enjoy playing with many different toys. Some toys you can get for free – ferrets often enjoy playing in empty cardboard boxes and paper bags.
Ferrets like some toys made for other animals, such as dangling cat toys or bird toys, and even baby rattles. Toys with squeakers or bells inside can be ferret favorites. Tubes and tunnels are classic ferret toys that can keep your pet entertained for hours, and you can have fun making a tube city for your pet.

Playpen totes and extra panels are also available, so you can let your ferret play safely anywhere. You probably want to get a carrier so that you can transport your pet easily, whether you buy a stylish shoulder bag carrier, a carrier on wheels, or just a smaller ferret cage for travel if up to you.
