First check to make sure that the ferret is not overheated. Some like
to get cloth wet and get into it if too hot.

The only one we had who liked to drink that way in our 30 years + with
ferrets in the family was a very handicapped one: Ruffle. What we
learned from that is that you have to check the cloth OFTEN because it
will get moldy.
