Oh yeah!

Water snorkeling is grand fun for them! I use a shallow plastic bin
and will put feeder fish in there for Josie. She refuses to get
entirely in the pan, but will wind herself up chasing the fish from
side to side. Eventually they settle in a corner and she'll flip
them out with her nose. She never has actually eaten one though.

I'll have to try the ping pong balls.

That's one drawback to living in Florida - no snow to watch your
animals go crazy in!

Cheers! JosiesMom

Another enrichment not mentioned here is to fill a basin full of
water and put ice cubes and or small toys like ping pong balls in
it. some ferrets will fish the toys out, some will snorkel some
will dig, and yet others will just drink the water. even better,
fill the basin with snow when avaiable!
