>From: Corynne dejong <[log in to unmask]> >Has anyone out there given their ferrets a massage? How do they react? >Can massage be used to help with medical conditions Hi! Great question! I have one ferret, my Sir Squid, who INSISTS on a back massage twice a day. He loves it! He jumps up on the bed morning and night flops onto his back waiting for me to begin rubbing. He has stayed there for a massage as long as 30 minutes, if you can believe it! Also, I rub his paws using the same principles of reflexology as is done on humans. I can't say that it is actually doing anything for him, but he does enjoy it. I could see how massage would help with certain types of injuries, but I would be hesitant to say it works just like it does in humans. Certainly seems to feel good to them!
