Hi Everyone...
I know stress can be induced easily to ferrets.  Today I cleaned my room
(it was horrible).  I put Max and Ginger in their carrier and took them to
the living room while I vaccuumed.  I let them back in, and Ginger's tail
poofed out immediately.  She ran and tried to hide, but there wasn't
anywhere for her to hide anymore, so she just layed down in the middle of
the floor with tail poofed and even the hair on her back was grisseled.
 
Max got pissed at me I suppose..he wouldn't come NEAR me..he wouldn't even
take any treats and then he started playing with Ginger (who wouldn't move)
except he was being very aggressive.  I took a towel and rolled it over him
(his favorite game) and that seemed to soothe him some.  Ginger has curled
in her cage now.  Is there any way to soothe them?  I'm sure they'll be ok
by the time you read this, but I want to be prepared in case they get like
this again.
