All but one of our ferrets will roll over for a raisin.  Kiva will
now roll over at your feet when she wants attention, and if you ignore
her, she'll roll over and over across the room.  It's incredibly cute,
and usually doesn't take her more than one or two rolls before somebody
scoops her up and lavishes her with affection.
 
Most of our ferrets will sit up on their haunches, "otter style", for
treats as well, and Bongo can even be coaxed to shuffle along for a foot
or so while he's in this vertical position (I got the idea to try this
several years ago when feeding smelt to some young river otters at the
Washington Park Zoo: they'd shuffle about while standing up, trying to
get into the best fish-catching position).
