A ferrets favorite activity is a dig box - a container filled with long grain rice (DO NOT USE instant rice). Other alternatives can be - potting soil, play sand, dried beans, ping pong balls, or pebbles can also be used to satisfy your ferrets digging behavoir.

Ferrets may suffer respiratory illness or allergies from pine or wood products
No! Do not eat it!
Mice form part of the wild polecat's diet, meaning that while eating them will present a slightly increased chance of your ferret contracting disease from the mice (they may also get fleas), it will be safe enough to not worry about. I suspect that, if you keep ferrets and have mice in your home, it'll be almost impossible to stop the ferrets eating them!
Petroleum distillates would be safe for ferrets IF the product is made specifically for ferrets to be used to treat ear mites.
A little boric acid powder is safe for storing rice and keeping it fresh. Rice, especially whole grain rice, is very good for health.

Ferrets are not caged animals, but you cage them for their protection. Most ferret owners cage ferrets when they're not at home or unable to supervise them when free roaming. Ferrets need about 4 hours daily time out of their cage in a ferret proofed environment. Ferrets being burrowing animals by nature are subject to crawl and fall asleep into places that can be dangerous and you cannot get them out, like in major appliances, couches, recliners (very dangerous for ferrets). I personally do not cage my ferrets, but keep them in a bedroom totally ferret proofed so they are safe
