I've heard it said here before, but now that I have two I can whole heartily agree that their favorite toy is another ferret. Other than that I think my boys love tubing and anything they can climb around in.

tubes, towel rides, plastic bags, crochet/knit eggs, boxes, me, squeaky mice on a string.......Ferrets enjoy the simple things in life.

Overall, mine Love their 10 foot black plastic drainage pipes. I have four of them and everyone runs up and down them. Someone will go into one end and then someone else runs as fast as they can, to the other end to catch the one that is coming out.
Miss Keller who isn't playing with the others yet, has a felt ball on a string and loves to play with that and then stash it.
Wynstan has stolen the first toy that I bought Keller (it's okay, she didn't like it). It's a catnip cigar and he loves it.
Mika's favorite toy is those tiny white plastic cups for the bathroom. She will play with those for a long time, especially if it has water in it.
Roamy's favorite toy is Juliet.
Juliet's favorite toy is Roamy.

Mine seem to love their tunnel equally, but Caillou loves chasing and terrifying the dogs a lot too. Juliet will spend an hour just picking up little stuffed animals and hoarding them under her cage or my desk. They really like stealing my socks and stuff and hiding them too. Caillou LOVES getting inside shoes and digging or sniffing. Cai likes tipping over drinks, and digging in his rice box. Juliet likes digging in sand and having her dog-friend Zeus chase her around.
All in all, Cai really enjoys using me as a chew toy. And Juliet is a natural hoarder.

Depends on the time.. if around 5am.. my toes! Besides that, the red tube is the only toy they didn't got tired already. The toys they like most sometimes seems the ones I usually consider trash. Empty boxes, paper bags.. One day they fought around almost an hour for a small tissue pack they stole from my bag!. They have plenty of other toys they already don't care (sometimes I just put them away from them for one or two weeks.. then I hear again the dooks of excitement... as if new.. for 20 minutes )

Nixxie loves feather boas. I dangle them from the air and have her chase them. They don't last long because she tears them to shreds. Otherwise the normal, dig box, towel rides and tunnels.

My ferrets all love their 25 foot tube. Snowy and Nestle love water. Sometimes ill give them a clean litter box with about an inch of water in it, and they just love to 'swim' and snorkel in it. Some of mine also love the rubbery squeaky toys, but now they can't have those because Nestle chews them. They also like the little jingly cat toys sometimes. They love their big box of cornstarch(i think?) packing peanuts. The most random things are so fun to them. 12 pack soda boxes make great toys too. Of course though, their favorite toys are each other (and people's feet)

^ Mine go crazy too for the squeaky toys I think I read that the sound is similar to a baby ferret crying? But then I don't know why my fert would attack it and bite and shake it and drag it to his stash lol My other ferret loves the tubes. He becomes a tail-wagger whenever he plays in them. He loves cat-chaser toys, they both love this thick plastic bag I have. I also have this cat toy that's a mouse and it's remote-control. And of course, they love sheets and blankets. They really are easily entertained

My four go wild for any kind of tube --- the longer, the better. They get even more excited when I move it around whilst they're exploring inside it.
Penny and Bear love dig boxes, although they're a bit fussy about what I put in the dig box. I tried those starch packing peanuts (ferret safe kind - I forgot what they're called) and they just threw them out of the box and then left them. Penny, however, invented a game where she would "guard" the box whilst I tried to "steal" the pieces out of it. I've also tried potting soil, which they went crazy for, and corn cob bedding. I hide treats and such in the bedding so that they are encouraged to dig.
Mel LOVES chasing anything with a bell in it. Penny really likes ping pong balls (especially in an empty bathtub).
Another "toy" that all four love is to crawl underneath a heavy blanket. I have a thick mat beneath the playpen, and they spend ages trying to get under it and then crawling around. Bear loves the bath mat - he is always trying to "rearrange" it.
Bianca is the hardest to please. She doesn't like to play with toys - she loves to steal them! I leave ferret safe household items around the ferret-proof rooms, and let her steal them and drag them back to her den (or the closet.) It was pretty funny when I saw her trying to drag a cleaning brush into her cage - it was almost twice her size!

Korra spends a lot of time stashing her little soft toys, her favourites are the ones that belong to my dog which she's not supposed to have.
Mako and Bolin love the big tunnels, they seem to enjoy digging in them, rolling around and digging at the top and sides, I think it's because of how much noise it makes. They also both love playing in the ballpool, usually with me or my OH playing with them. Mako enjoys the rice dig box.
All three like playing with us, Korra especially and have started to play more with each other now that Korra is learning to bite a bit softer.

Leo loves his little mouse teaser cat toy. It's just an unstuffed mouse on a string and stick. He goes in to this little tunnel and hides waiting for it to come past so he can pounce on it xx

I always said Gizmo is a puppy-gremlin mix. He follows us around everywhere and if you splash him with water (or feed after midnight Lol) he goes insane! Aramis enjoys beating up Marbella when bored or when he doesn't get attention. He learned humans come running immediately when she starts screaming. I think she's his girlfriend, they always sleep together now, he looks for her before going to sleep. Kind of an abusive bf in my opinion but she loves him. Oh, and he likes toes or any other human limbs that are not covered with clothes. Noses too. Gabriel and Gizmo love the pasta box. Marbella loves anything she can stash. Like...100balls that are stashed next to our bed now, together with all the toys, remote controls, psp console, and other random items of the house. Besides the usual tubes, toys, bells, mine love ice cubes, water and visitors. Harrassing them - the louder they scream, the more entertained they are.
