I've known only a handful of ferrets that ever would sit still in someone's lap. It doesn't mean they don't like you, just that they've explored your lap enough and are ready to move on to new things. The only times Hershey and Nestle' ever sit still in my lap is when I'm giving them a treat of some kind (Ferretone gets them still a long time), or if they fall asleep somewhere out of the cage and I lie down with them. Then they'll come over and lick me, and fall asleep again on me. Other than that, and occasionally when they will sit still for being petted, they are always on the move. It's normal. Try wrestling them with an old sock or something. Ferrets don't go for stationary cuddling. Happy holidays everyone. I got my little girls a length of dryer vent hose to play in. But don't tell them, it's a surprise. :-) E.S. [Posted in FML issue 0672]
