Oh yes, ferrets can and do pass gas, sometimes quite loudly. Our worst culprit for this was a very tiny female ferret by the name of Tigger. She barely weighed in at a pound. It always amazed me that such a tiny creature could break wind so loudly. Whenever, she would start, I'd look at my husband and say, "Yep, she's your ferret all right." Let's just say he also has a bit of reputation in that regard. Holly Icarus & Cato (the fuzzy crew) [Posted in FML issue 5049]
