>...I was glad someone wrote about waking up a dead ferret...
 
We've all been victimized by this sneaky maneuver.... While the ferret
is in this state, handle him/her very very gently supporting the entire
ferret.  They are vulnerable to injury, especially the spinal area.
 
A little rib tickle will bring the dead back to life.  :-)
