What Can You Do With Ferro?
Feed Him
Feed him and he grows, then send him to his litterbox to shed off iron and get smaller
Play Fetch
Throw him his ball, and he will fetch it and drop it for you to throw again...and again...and again
Let Him Nap
When Ferro is sleepy, send him to his house and he will nap, making breathing motions
Watch Him Wander
When you're not playing with him, he will wander around on his own and shake once in a while
Do Tricks
Ferro is more than happy to show off his litany of tricks: sit, shake, roll over, play dead, and more
Play A Game
Play a memory game with Ferro. Can you remember the 10 places he moves to?
WILL THE MAGNETIC SAND SCRATCH UP THE DOME?
No! The magnetic sand is soft, and the wand will have a soft pad on it. Some scratching will occur over time from normal wear and tear.
IS THE MAGNETIC SAND ACCESSIBLE?
No, the iron filings are all contained inside the toy and sealed off so they won't come out at all

Ferro is just about to start manufacturing and will be available December 2025
