Avoid bedding material with a loose weave - ferrets nails sometimes split when they get too long and tend to hang on loose threads (they need to be trimmed every 2- 3 weeks). I have read where ferrets nails have hung on threads with the owner unaware, and the ferret wrapped the thread around its leg cutting off circulation that resulted in amputation. Ferrets love to sleep in anything soft and warm such as cat beds, old clothes, blankets, towels etc. Avoid typical small animal bedding such as wood chips.

If I use soft bedding for the ferret to sleep on can I use wood shavings for the litter tray?
Hi, i honestly do not recommend laying soft bedding in a ferret cage, they sometimes like to chop on soft things and most of the softer bedding is chewy as well which if they swallow it they will most likely get it lodged in their intestine and need emergency surgery. Pine bedding works the best, they find comfort in almost anything. iv seen my ferrets sleep on top of a stack of CD`s! 100% Pine bedding Is what i recommend. _______________________________________________ Pine bedding is dangerous to ferrets. Period. A better option for litter would be recycled paper pellets such as Marshall or Yesterdays News. I use wood stove pellets. Blankets and hammocks are fine for them to sleep on.

If you want to give your ferrets straw to play in once in a while, that shouldn't be a problem. However, do not give them straw as bedding material. It can cause respiratory problems in the long run. Instead give them some old towels or clothes to sleep in. It's cheap (free even), easy to keep clean and my ferrets love nothing more than to snuggle in them.
How are ferrets and wolverines related?
No. Ferrets are not related at all to rats. Rats are rodents, ferrets are related to skunks, polecats, otters, and weasels. Ferrets are more like the responsibility of a cat or dog, as they are very very social and need attention at all times. Please if you are getting a ferret, DO NOT put wood shavings or newspaper as their bedding. They need soft blankets, hammocks, and even old t-shirts would work. The shavings cause problems with their lungs, and is really bad for them!!
