- 6 Easy DIY Cat Toys for Ferrets. This video is packed full of easy DIY toys for both ferrets and cats, since ferrets and cats enjoy a lot of the same toys.
The ferret and cat toys in this video can easily be made from simple items you probably already have at home, like toilet paper rolls, fleece blankets or fabric, shower curtain rings, needle and thread, and socks. You can even swap out the fleece in these DIY ferret and cat toys for an old t-shirt.
There are 6 easy DIY ferret and cat toys in this video.
1. A simple Pom Pom. I used yard, but you could use string if you didn’t have yarn around. The Pom Pom would turn out a little less fluffy, but your cat or ferret would still enjoy playing with it.
2. Is the Toy Mouse. Both my ferrets and cats love these. I add catnip to the one I make for the cats. These can be made with cotton fabric or an old t-shirt. You can stuff it with batting, catnip, paper, or rice. I would not recommend catnip or rice if making this for your ferret, but for cats those two fillers would be fine.
3. No Sew Sock Bunny. This is an easy fun ferret, cat, or even dog toy. I did not use any beads, or anything plastic because it’s a risk for the ferrets, but you could add buttons and other creative notions for the eyes and nose if you were making this for a cat or dog, as long as you animal doesn’t eat those kinds of item. You can also drawn, glue or sew on the eyes, nose, tail and mouth. Whichever method is best for you and your fur babies.
4. The spider ring. This is a simple Ferret and cat toy made using a ring of some kind. I used extra shower curtain rings, but I have also used a cookie cutter. You can also make a circle with fabric and tie strips if fabric to the fabric ring. Both my ferrets and cats love this. The ferrets like to play tug-a-war with it.
5. DIY No Sew Heart. This no sew plush heart can be made in any size . I made mine ferret and cat size, so about 6” wide. You can make this with an old t-shirt or with fleece or any other fabric. For the stuffing you could use batting, scraps of fabric or even paper, both ferrets and cats love crinkle toys and using paper to stuff it would make a great crinkle toy.
6. Classic TP Roll spider toy. This is a classic easy diy cat toy, but I learned after making it that ferrets love it too. All you need is an empty toilet paper roll and some scissors. You can add some fabric around the base if you want, but you ferrets or cats will love it with or without the fabric.

Could u make a video on sewing techniques? I really want to get into that for my ferrets
Freaking Elissa Do you have a sewing machine are going to do it by hand? I just want to know what kind of info to include in a video video.
Hi. I recently started making pom poms and as a fellow ferret owner, do they pull them a part? Everything I tie and I even use zip ties, pieces of yarn still come out when I pull. Am I being overly paranoid about this or will it be fine for them. Thanks
I definitely don’t think you’re being paranoid! You can never be to careful with ferrets, they are always doing something crazy 😂. It’s ok if they pull them apart as long as they aren’t eating it. If they’re eating it, I would not give them anymore pom poms. Some ferrets will eat stuff and others don’t. Up until recently none of my ferrets ever chewed or ate anything like toys, fleece, yard ect… but my new baby prince loves to chew the tiny fabric ears off toys. 🤦♀️ so I had to take them all away 😢. I’ve also noticed that the fleece pom Poms tend to stay together better than the yarn ones, but if they pull hard enough the fleece pieces can come lose too.
My ferret trys to eat yarn -_-
😢. Some ferrets chew/eat fleece, yarn and other stuff like that and some don’t. So far none of mine have been chewers, but I do have one that likes to try and eat the cornstarch packing peanuts. So when I get them out for the ferrets to jump in I have to watch her like a hawk. Even though “they” say the cornstarch ones are safe and won’t hurt them, it still freaks me out to let her eat them.
