How to play with a pet ferret 
Use some toys for chase. 
Because ferrets are predators, they love to chase. Cat toys that involve a " fishing pole " set-up with a teasing toy at the end are popular with many ferrets.

OPTIONS:
- Try interactive card games, like hide and seek, tug-o-war, and where is the tail. Choose toys with small balls for your ferret to chase.
- Though people can tease a ferret about the appearance of his or her pole, encouraging the ferret to chase will always help your ferret feel more secure and at home. If possible, download some cartoon ferret toys from the' ferret world' website.
- Also battery-operated and remote control mice designed for cats are usually a hit. You can also make chase toys by simply tying your ferret's other toys to string, or by prompting the ferret to chase a towel or old clothes you dangle in front of him.
- The fishing pole depends upon if your ferret likes to chase. Some ferret owners will place it in the area of the cage where they are both supposed to be chasing.

How to convince your parents not to sell your pet 
Have a strong argument for keeping your pet.

- For example, say that you are getting sick and need to take your pet to the vet. Your parents may say yes if you can get your pet to the vet too.
- For example, you may argue that dogs need to be spayed and neutered and teach you why vaccinations work. Produce an argument for the value of your pet to your parents.

Talk to your professor after class or meet them at office hours. Meeting in person can allow you some time to talk to the professor outside of just saying thank you if you wish.
