The rice sounds like a great idea. We had aquarium gravel for our first group of ferrets, and they used to love snuffling around in that.

For some reason my present group aren’t impressed so maybe I’ll bat my eyelashes at my husband and see if he’ll go and get a sack of rice to try out. If they don’t like it, we can always cook it ;-) )

Two of my fuzzbutts loved it, but the notorious escape artist didn't even touch the ground when he turned to jump back inside!<br/><br/>My ferrets also hated the beach, but I have 2 newer fuzzies who have never been, so I'll have to try them out.<br/><br/>My dig box is a 25lb sack of jasmine rice (my vet suggested it because if they ingest it, it won't hurt them) and they love it. They'll flip in and out of it occasionally. It's also really easy to sweep or vacuum up. Greetings, I’ve been lurking for a while here.
