What we did was to rotate ferrets every 15-20 minutes. Also had food and water in every cage. By the end of the day all 11 ferrets were dead to the world. They all fell into a sleep similar to what you wrote. I do not know if it is dangerous but all seemed okay after a good nights rest. I think they were just burned out from all the attention. pluss as you well know ferrets sleep alot. If you keep them awake for a long period of time they tend to sleep longer and deeper. This is just my opinion, based on experience not medical data. If this is dangerous I would like to know. We are doing an outing late this month or early next month. They usualy run for at least 6-8 hours. I'm concerned with the ferrets health as well as educating the general puplic. Hope you all have a good week. Brad [Posted in FML issue 0824]
