Hi Renee,
 
I too, have a ferret that was very playful when he was a kit.  Now that he
is 7 1/2 months old, he acts like he's ancient.  He is an explorer too.  I
can get him to play a little and dook, but mostly he's exploring the house.
I think that he may just be content with everything in the house, he gets
lots of loves and kisses from everyone, and gets held alot, hugged and
petted.  He does give our cat a run for his money every once and a while,
when he's had enough of us, he goes to my daughter's room, climbs under
the quilt and goes to sleep.  I hope that medically he's ok, but I have
no reason to take him in, he eats really well, drinks well, poops & pee
are fine, coat is full and shiny.  I think I just got a laid back ferret.
