What are some cool things about ferrets?

I have 3 ferrets now (and a some others in the past 2-4 years), so I know some cool things. 1.) Ferrets can go crazy if they are full of energy, or they haven't run around in awhile. 2.) Ferrets are adorable when they are sleeping, half-asleep, or yawning. 3.) If you like watching animals hoard things, you will love ferrets. One of my ferrets, Tweak, hoard flip flops and sandals under beds, in closets, behind dressers, etc. 4.) Some ferrets are great alarm clocks. One of my other ferrets, Oreo, will climb into my bed, go down to my feet, and bite. If you don't want your ferret to bite, you can spray them with something they don't like. Don't hit their head-I find it more effective to flick them in the nose (not too hard though) Best of luck! I hope you go out and get a ferret.

Ferrets wrestle, tackle, roll, bite, claw, and get away in small spaces.

They are some of the most successful predators for their size ever known, but they still make great pets!
