Help with teething ferrets??

The newest addition to our fur family are 2 11 week old male kits. They are still nippy, which isnt the problem, but im wondering what is good to buy for them to chew on? Im pretty sure they are teething, chewing way more than ferrets i have knowing of an older age and surely the metal bits on the cage wouldnt do any good for their teeth... I was just wondering if baby teething rusks would be any good, but then they have vegetable content... i have their basic diet down to pat, but just not sure about treats they can eat and stuff they can chew on and all that. Im in OZ and we are unable to order ferret treats online, as our customs wont let them in due to the meat product. Any other ideas? thanks so much

Help with teething ferrets??
Hi have you heard of the dog toys called 'Kong'? They look like a big rubber beehive......well anyway they make 'bird kongs' and have recently brought out a new 'ferret teething Kong'. I bought one off of the internet from a vet clinic in WA (i too live on Aus) It was about $15 plus postage and they LUUUVVVVV it!!!! Vet clinic address is www.balcattavet.com.au then you click on the small pets (in shopping) button up the top or if this works try : http://www.balcattavet.com.au/small%5Fpe... Maybe see if there is somewhere nearer you that sells them.





Good luck!!!!! hope this helps.
Reply:I would try soft rubber or latex chew toys that a toy puppy would chew on for teething. A small chew rope might also be good. Part of the problem is with two that age they are competing and playing and nipping each other. Separating them for a while might help.
Reply:Get some teething toys that babies use. They're safe and don't have any removable parts.
