Question
I have two ferrets born on the same day.March 23 2008.Buddy is the boy and Pal is the girl.They get along fine but, Buddy sleeps alot and im worried.You can do anything to him while he is sleeping and he will not wake up.But when you tinkle him he wakes up.I ask this because the Pal is jumpy and hyper.Buddy is though when you start him up.Im asking as a loving pet owner.There 10 months old.
Thanks,Giana

Answer
You should probably take him to the vet to make absolutely sure there is no health problem, but otherwise it's fine if he's a little more laid back that the other ferret. All ferrets are different, some are very hyper and energetic, some are very mellow and quiet.
