>Has anyone out there given their ferrets a massage? How do they react?
>Can massage be used to help with medical conditions
Hi! Great question! I have one ferret, my Sir Squid, who INSISTS on a
back massage twice a day. He loves it! He jumps up on the bed morning and
night flops onto his back waiting for me to begin rubbing. He has stayed
there for a massage as long as 30 minutes, if you can believe it!
Also, I rub his paws using the same principles of reflexology as is done
on humans. I can't say that it is actually doing anything for him, but
he does enjoy it.
I could see how massage would help with certain types of injuries, but I
would be hesitant to say it works just like it does in humans. Certainly
seems to feel good to them!
