∙ 16y agoNo matter how old they get, they will always want to play, play, and play some more. Ferrets do the "weasel war dance" - when they get excited and playing they will hop around, and twist and turn and the sound they make is called "dooking". They are always exploring, curious about everything. When something has changed or added in a room, they usually notice right away and have to go investigate. They sleep about 18 hrs a day.
