I actually got a new ferret this week from Animal Care and Control.  She's a very active four month old ferret and I just couldn't introduce her to Bernard and Hermione without bringing a new toy in with her.  That way they could play and get to know each other.  So on the way home we stopped by the pet store and they had this Octopus toy.  She was sniffing it so it seemed appealing, so we bought it and took her home.

Appearance and Construction

It is a giant red Octopus with five arms that each have two holes in them for your ferrets to run in and out of.  So in total there are eleven holes in this toy for your ferrets.  Since this in't a sleeper or hammack it's a thinner material but still very strong even for very active ferrets.     The material is stretchable with the body being a little thicker for even more active playing inside or even on top.  The material feels like an antipill fleece, both the bodies and the arms.  THe body is padded.

Playtime

This has turned out to be a great toy for all three ferrets.  They love chasing each other in and out of the legs and rolling around inside the arms and body.  We have also found thay they have great amusement with it if we grab the body and do a sort of spinning motion with it so the arms fly through the air.  They jump up at the arms and try to drag the Octopus out of our hands.  Once they can get the Octopus away they jump up and down on the body basically proclaiming their victory.

So far this has turned into one of their favorite playtime activities.    

Conclusion

In the end, the all passed out exhausted after a long playtime with their new sister, Ginny and their new Octopus.  So they became very bonded, very quickly while playing with this great new toy.  This is now one of their favorites during play time and should last a very long time due to it's great construction.
