Ferret Game 1 - Tug 'O' War
Grab your ferrets favourite toy and waggle itin frontof them. As they grab hold of it you can enjoy a tug of war match to see who wins. Ensure you and your ferret are having a great time, and that they don't get frustrated or wound up.

Get your ferrets attention and then run off! Simple. Your ferret can then run behind you to check out what's going on. You can then chase them back and soforth. Afterwards it's time for hug.
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. This is great fun for your ferret.
Ferret Game 4 - Ferret fly fishing
This is one of my favourite games. Attach a little treat to some thread and then connect that to a small cane. Place it infront of your ferret and watch them them try to grab it as you wiggle it about.
Ferret Game 5 - Ferret Ping-Pong
Grab a ping pong ball bounce it around in front of your ferret on a hard floor. You're ferret will have a whail of a time snatching after it and can compete against them to get it first. Great fun all round.
