One of my ferrets has been having 'funny' moments.  She stands still and
stares for quite a while.  It doesn't seem to matter what else is going
on around her.  Even if I go into their room she doesn't move.  Then
without warning she seems to be ok and either runs to me or carries on
with what she was doing.  (She is a one year old silver.) These can
happen several times a day.
 
She has always had a delicate nature and a couple of times had 'panic
attacks' where she was breathing fast and very noisily after I cleaned
out her room.  Although these haven't happened recently.
 
Has any one else experienced this sort of thing?  Or know what it is
caused by?
 
Thank you.
 
Love Livi
