This is kind of a silly question, but I'm curious. I have four ferrets, all of whom occasionally get the hiccups. They always flat-ferret until I notice the hiccups. I've found that having them lick something makes the hiccups go away (sometimes ferretone, sometimes I ask for kisses). One of my guys, Slinky, gets the hiccups at least twice a day. Sometimes four or five times a day. Does anybody know why he gets the hiccups so much? They really bother him, and he comes to me and flat-ferrets until I fix it. It's not a major concern, but I was curious. Jess [Posted in FML issue 4673]
