Another deathroll in progress

Yeah, they pretty much grab one another by some convenient bit of skin and start trying to roll around.  The object is to fling the other ferret about, I guess, but it generally doesn’t work that way.

So we had to send security to retrieve him.

Don’t let your ferrets (or anyone else) drink and drive!

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.
