Instructions
Remove all plastic tape from a clean cardboard box and loosely reseal the bottom of the box using three to four 4-inch pieces of masking tape.
Turn the box right side up and fill it with shredded paper or ping-pong balls.
Sprinkle four or five small low-fat ferret treats among the filler to reward your ferret for good digging behaviors.
Hide one treat-filled toy deep in the filling. This provides mental and physical stimulation for your ferret.
Partially close the lid on the box leaving a small crack to tempt your ferret into investigating the box.
Place the box in the appropriate location ̵2; habitat, playroom or pen.
Replenish the treats daily, change out toys inside the box weekly and replace the box and filler when they become soiled.
