This can only end in pain

But it’s worth it, because it usually makes her start chuckling.

(Weird specks on carpet are fabric bits from when I was making them a hammock.)

We are VERY gently holding her tail; please do not yank a ferret’s tail or do anything else that may hurt the ferret!

Tribble!

Or just a Minion getting his butt wiggled in a most annoying way.

WARNING: Ferrets are not for everyone

1.) For their own safety, ferrets should not be allowed to roam free in the house without supervision. Ferrets have far too much curiosity and not enough sense of self preservation.
2.) Ferrets should have 1-4 hours of playtime every day (how much really depends on your ferret; mine pass out after 1 to 2 hours). A playpen will work in a pinch, but a ferret-proofed room in your house is preferable. They love to run (and to be chased)!
3.) Ferrets do not live very long in the US (on average only about 6 years). They are also very prone to health issues. There *will* be vet bills. Minion cost us $600 when he had a blockage from ingesting part of a couch, and that's *without* surgery.
