Two of my ferrets can be safely picked up one-handed, the other two should
be only two-handed handled.  Kouri is too long of body, and heavy, and
Neugi is extremely frail.  Neugi has tiny little ribs, with no fat covering
them.
 
So, in my opinion, it's not a cut and dried situation.  I remember how
carefully Ed handled Neugi, and I am always more cautious of him than of
the other ferrets.
 
Neugi is the reason I'm grinding chickens, which is NOT my idea of a fun
afternoon.  Everyone else, I might add, is getting fat.  Not Neugi, he's
still just fluff on a frame.  Sigh.
