Does anyone else's ferret shiver/tremble/vibrate? Mine do occasionally and I'm not sure why. It seems to happen when I pick them up after they've been sleeping and carry them to a new place to explore. I don't think it's because they are cold, because I'm comfortable in a T-shirt (and they've got a fur coat). Are they scared? After a minute or two, they get over it and begin to investigate. Does anyone else's ferret hack/sneeze/gasp? Mine do occasionally and I'm not sure why. It seems to happen randomly. Is it the fur-in-the- throat thing, like cats get (hairball)? Should I get the Laxatone that someone suggested? It doesn't seem like they stop breathing and they go right on playing afterwords. ____________________________________________________________ \ \ > James P.
