Listed below are some neat things Jackie & Fred made for us to keep us busy (and out of trouble!).

A cheap Ferret Hide-Away you can make from a couple of cardboard boxes:

We used a 4" hole saw and a drill to cut 3 holes as follows:
One is cut into the top of the bottom box, the second is cut into the bottom of the top box (not shown) so it will match up with the one cut into the top of the bottom box, and the third is cut into the top of the top box. Small 3/4" holes are cut along the top sides of each box for ventilation. Finally secure both boxes to one another. We used clear packing tape all around the edges.

Our Fuzzies LOVE this setup so much, we duplicated it using flatter boxes, multiple boxes (4 of them!) and lots of other combinations.

Inexpensive Ferret Fun Tunnel: We used an old white, flexible plastic dryer vent tube like the one shown below. We took care to reinforce the ends with some duct tape so the reinforcement wire can not poke out and injure our fuzzies. They love running through it and it collapses into itself for easy storage.
