I've not notice anyone post on a ticklish ferret before and wonder how common it is. If I scratch Rover quickly on the shoulders with alternate fingers (like I was drumming the table top), he arches his back into the scratch and fluffs up his tail like a scrub brush. Sometimes he even alternately raises a paw like cats sometimes do. Whereas I would normally interpret a fluffed tail to be anger, this isn't apparently the case. When I stop scratching, he gives a little shiver and comes back for more. We can keep this up for several minutes before he has decided that he has had enough. [Posted in FML issue 1125]
