Unique Stylish Ferret House—A Ferret Playground

ferret house

If you’re looking for something special for your ferret, here it is—a ferret house. Not just any house, a stylish, luxury ferret playhouse! 

As you know, ferrets are naturally curious and playful animals. A playhouse allows them to explore new spaces, climb, jump, and investigate various nooks and crannies. It stimulates their instincts and provides mental and physical enrichment, keeping them entertained and preventing boredom.

Ferret Playground

Actually, there are several different styles of these large handmade ferret houses. These playhouses are two and three-level castles and houses with ramps, steps, bridges, multiple entry/exit points and cushioned rooftops.

Watch your ferret dash through passageways, climb stairs and pop out of openings—enjoying the thrill of discovery.

If you have multiple ferrets, these playhouses are perfect for chasing, playing and interacting with each other. You can even join in on the fun! When they get tired, these playhouses provide spaces to nap in comfort.

What ferret wouldn’t love to have one of these stylish and entertaining playhouses?

Ferret House Features

Here are some of the features of these houses and castles:

  • Indoor/outdoor use
  • Handmade with antibacterial sturdy and durable plywood
  • Laser cut with intricate detailing
  • Lightweight and portable
  • 55-73” long
  • 17-22” high
  • Non-slip surfaces
  • Removable cushions
  • Extra fun for multiple ferrets

And because they’re handmade, you can customize some of them with different colors to suit your decor (or your ferret’s preference).

Note: These playhouses are labeled for rabbits, but don’t let that concern you. There are so many items that are great for ferrets—they are just marketed toward other pets or other uses. These playhouses are just made a bit larger and sturdier, but that gives your ferret more room to play.  Your ferret will love it, and all the other ferret parents and ferrets will be envious!

Of course, remember to supervise ferrets during playtime to keep them safe.

Ferret Toys—Rumba For Ferrets

Did you know you can have your floors vacuumed and entertain your ferret at the same time?

Ferrets need a lot of attention and lots of different toys and fun experiences so they don’t get bored. As ferret parents, we are always on the lookout for new ferret toys and things we think our ferrets will have fun with while distracting them from having fun with our things (socks, slippers, pens, remotes…)

The problem is, ferrets have a short attention span. They may play with a toy for a little while or may just stash their toys in one of their favorite hiding places.

Some interactive toys or self-moving toys keep a ferret’s attention longer.  One of my ferrets loves her walking toy kitty She bounces at it as it moves until she knocks it over. I have to keep standing it up so it continues to walk and she continues to jump at it.

Another one of my ferrets loves to play with water, so she has a lot of fun with her Catit Flower Water Fountain.

These interactive ferret toys are great and many ferrets love to play with them. Some ferrets, however, play with a toy for a short period of time and then lose interest in it and never play with the toy again.

Many of us spoil our ferrets and although we may be disappointed that the newest ferret toys we brought home did not impress our fur babies, we are all too eager to try something else.  You can’t beat the joy of watching a ferret play–it never gets old!

Ferret Toy Ideas–Enrichment Fun

If you have a ferret, you know how playful and smart they are. Ferrets need a variety of toys for enrichment and fun. They need toys to keep them busy and to arouse their natural problem solving abilities.

Toys also act as a type of therapy for your ferret.  If a ferret is bored or unhappy, it can lead to undesirable behaviors. When he has fun and interesting toys to play with, he will be less likely to look for other outlets to relieve his boredom— such as digging in his litter box, or getting into things around the house.

 Ferret Toy Ideas–Enrichment Fun

What kind of toys are the best for my ferret?

Ferrets generally love toys that stimulate their natural, instinctual behaviors – hunting, digging and tunneling.  Like cats, toys that move in some way challenge their hunting instincts. Many cat toys are also of interest to ferrets. These types of toys include toys on springs, cat teasers, and battery powered toys.

Tunneling and burrowing never gets old. Ferrets can run around in tunnels and tubes all day–the more tunnels, the better. There are many different types of tunnels and tubes. To learn about some of the best options see this article.
