Toys/Playing

Just as with children, selecting a toy for your ferret should include much thought.  Ferrets love to chew!!  Any rubber items should be removed from a ferrets reach!  Rubber pieces, if swallowed, can cause an intestinal blockage.  Swift surgical intervention may be required or the ferret will die a very painful death.  Vomiting, lethargy, quick weight loss, refusal of food, dehydration, pain, or inability to pass stool are some symptoms of a possible obstruction.
