More weird sleeping poses

It's all about perspective

Yes, they wiped their butt on the cardboard. That’s what it’s for. Apparently, even ferrets like a bit of TP.

Please notice the Minion butt falling through the hole in the hammock (left side).

No way was I going to attack Jack Jack while he’s sleeping! >.>;

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.
