Question
I have 2 ferrets.There babies.The boy(Buddy)sleeps on top of the girl(Bonnie).Sometimes Buddy starts moaning while he is sleeping.Almost like a cry.I wanted to know if this is normal.

Answer
Hi Giana:

Yes, you will find that ferret babies are quite like human babies. Some are very vocal and some are very quiet.  In time you will get used to what all their little squeaks and groans mean.  ENJOY and take lots of pictures - they grow up SO fast!!

If you can possibly get the book FERRETS FOR DUMMIES - that will help guide you so you can help keep your ferrets healthy and happy so they will live long.  If you don't have it on your Christmas list yet, get going! :-)   You can get general information almost any informatino here too:   http://www.ferretcentral.org
