I've been reluctant to post this, but since I haven't seen anyone else express concern, I wanted to say something. I really don't think skydiving with your ferret is a good idea. First that comes to my mind is that they are so little and I wonder if the pressure from the drop would pop their ears or worse. Second, I really don't think that it is fair to take someone on a very scary dive like that if they cannot consent. I was sitting here thinking about how scared I would be and then thought how much worse it would be for a little one to suddenly be in free fall, not understanding what was going on and not being able to stop it. I really think that this is mean and may traumatize him. I just think that they are too little and can't understand what is happening. Yes people take dogs skydiving. Dogs are different, but I wouldn't take a dog either. Not everyone gets a rush out of skydiving and you really don't know if your ferret is one of the people who do, so I would play it safe and not make him go through that. Anyway, I really hope that you give this a second thought. It would be nice to hear from other ferret-knowledgeable people out there. Am I out of line here? Thanks for listening.
