I believe that ferrets go into such a deep sleep that they do become
completely limp. When I used to pick up Spaz, sometimes she was so limp
that I thought she was dead. Once I yelled her name and it so startled her
that she went into a "frizz-ball" in mid air, jumped out of my hand and
looked at me like - WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU YELLING ABOUT? Don't you wish
WE could sleep like that?
