Deb:
I have found that ferrets do better when they have a companion. They are
more active and playful. I bought my first ferret on day, got her home and
could tell that she missed the other ferrets, so I went out the very next
day and got her a sister. She was like a different ferret. Since then I
have add one more and hope to add another this summer of early fall.
As far a yawning, I am not sure of the cause. I don't think it is because
of frustration because my Hope loves to be cuddled and she sometimes yawns
when I hold her. They say humans yawn when they need a little more oxygen
in their systems and that is what I figure it is with ferrets.
