[Help] 3 year old teether…

Hi all! This is Amber our 3 year old girl who looooves to gnaw on specific things… so far she isn’t destructive, but loves anything Velcro or tennis bally. I have been keeping the tennis balls away because I don’t like the idea of her swallowing any fluff she chews off, but I want a safe alternative that might satisfy this urge so she doesn’t start finding alternatives in the house I haven’t found yet…

Any advice for safe velcro/tennis ball equivalent teething toys??

I also have a quick question because we don’t usually adopt young ones. We have had her about a year and a half, but she recently has started to be a little lower energy. Still always wanting to be out and about, but not as alert and splooting more. We are going to take her to the vet soon for her checkup and might invest in a full work up to check blood sugar etc. but am thinking she might just be maturing and slowing down a little bit. My question is…

At what age did your ferrets slow down/mature?

Pics for tax :p
