At most pet stores or on the internet (ferret.com, ferret depot.com). Ferrets like bedding that is soft and they can burrow into. They like to sleep covered up. You can use material you already have like t-shirts, flannel material, etc. as long as it's a fine weave. Ferrets are prone having their nails hang and get caught on loose woven fabrics sometimes causing injuries. Do not use any wood chips (cedar, pine), it can cause respiratory problems in ferrets.
