The Perfect Ferret Toy

I just got this a few days ago from Amazon and already it's turned into my ferret's favorite toy. Nothing else (save for a plastic water bottle that he likes more than his expensive toys lol) has held his attention for as long as this and he keeps going back for more! He especially finds it fun if you sit on the floor and twist it all around yourself up over your shoulders and under your legs so that he gets to climb slide and twist to get through the whole thing. He also finds it likes me to run the tube through a dark cardboard box or move the ends while he's in the middle so that it comes out in a new place every time. At twenty feet this tube stretches out well much better than the other eight foot tubes that you can find in stores and the clear plastic is nice because it allows you to see your ferret and vice-versa much better.



As one of the other reviews said though he does like to chew the ends; since I supervise him during play time this hasn't been a problem but I might take their advice and cover the edges with some duct tape. And even though he tries to "dig" his way out of the middle of the tube from inside the plastic seems to be sturdy and is holding very well.



The tube also smelled very strongly of plastic when it first arrived but it aired out well within about a day and no longer smells like anything.



Every ferret definitely needs one of these! =)More detail ...

Wonderful.

If you take proper care of your hamster this home will be great for your little friend. In terms of what the other reviewers said you just have to take proper precautions.



For instance my buddy one night when he was getting used to the CritterTrail X also built a nest in the exercise wheel. Well I want him to be comfortable but he needs his exercise! For his own sake I sucked up the bedding from that spot with the vaccuum and he hasn't tried it since. Your hamster may need more coaxing to stop this behavior. Now poop and pee does fall through the holes in the wheel onto the track below but hamsters are gross that way so don't blame the house for the occupant's apathy! At least they were smart enough to build it so the disgustingness will go on the track and not anything else.



I don't know what the other person was talking about in terms of it being "hard to clean". You've got to vaccuum out the soiled bedding every day or two and wash the whole thing about once a week. Of course it will stink if you're gross and don't tend to it. I got my hamster as a roommate though and not a piece of meat for another pet so maybe I just don't mind being reasonable. I also don't see why it would break easily...it seems sturdy enough to me though I partially melted one using drying heat in the dishwasher and had to get another. That was the first time I ever used a dishwasher though and had no idea how to tend to it.



Anyways this house provides a decent amount of room for a hamster when you're unable let him or her play outside of it and it just looks cool too. The wheel and slide are neat as is the two-story nature of the thing. There's enough room to take melted pieces of a second one and put them inside for extra climbing fun. Highly recommended.More detail ...
