ok thanks, i think i will use newspaper and i will also chuck a few jumpers and things in there aswell. they have an old pair of kids trousers in with them at the moment with the legs cut off and shredded up and the waist/bum bit whole like a bag and the curl up and sleep huddles up in that top bit.

If you have albino's watch for the dye off newspapers it makes them look grey and dirty wont harm them though

I managed to get hold of some cheap vet bedding at a game show to line the sleeping box in, and they have a couple of towels in there. Mind you the heat 6 sleeping ferrets give off is amazing. No wonder they didn't like me waking them up this morning

In winter I use the cheap loft insulation made from recycled bottles you get from B&Q. It lasts for ages and is really cozy for the little stinkers. Its not itchy its like the stuffing out of a teddy or something ,they love it. Just chuck it out when its smelly.
