She's the happiest ferret I've ever seen >who had just been "disciplined"... Two of mine do this too. I think Smoky does it because he is finally free and then goes and beats up somebody else. (he does not like being held at all) And Poki... will keep trying to get my elbows and keep coming in and wardancing. Scruffing only makes him crazier. The ONLY way I can get him to calm down is to hold him to by chest with two hands and hang on till he calms down. Then he walks away to do something else.
