Millie ‘playing’ with a cat toy.

Audio is in reference to the toy in my Gara and the Duck video (https://youtu.be/Ev2mEuhBCVw), discussing the safety needed in using a toy like that with a ferret. My sister is off camera trying to get Gara to play with said duck some more.

Gara and the Duck

WARNING: Do not let ferrets just have toys like this to do as they please. They can chew off bits of rubber and cause a fatal intestinal obstruction. This duck is used under careful supervision, and gets any bits that start to come loose trimmed off and disposed of immediately.

Half my time was spent picking her up and putting her back on the floor.
Gara would not stay off tables. At all.

WARNING: Ferrets are not for everyone

1.) For their own safety, ferrets should not be allowed to roam free in the house without supervision. Ferrets have far too much curiosity and not enough sense of self preservation.
2.) Ferrets should have 1-4 hours of playtime every day (how much really depends on your ferret; mine pass out after 1 to 2 hours). A playpen will work in a pinch, but a ferret-proofed room in your house is preferable. They love to run (and to be chased)!
3.) Ferrets do not live very long in the US (on average only about 6 years). They are also very prone to health issues. There *will* be vet bills. Minion cost us $600 when he had a blockage from ingesting part of a couch, and that's *without* surgery.
