Why is my ferret digging excessively, and how can I redirect this behavior?

Digging is a natural behavior for ferrets, stemming from their instinct to burrow. To redirect this behavior, provide a digging box filled with safe materials like rice or plastic balls. Ensure your ferret has plenty of toys and opportunities for exploration to keep them mentally stimulated. Regular playtime can also help burn off excess energy that might be channeled into digging.
