I have a adorable eight week old female kit who everytime she plays ends up with the hicups. Like any kit, she is really into chewing and is being taught what is acceptible chewing and what is too hard. She is my fourth ferret. The first three I also had as babies and never noticed any of them hicupping. Is this normal or should I be alarmed? I tried to look it up but none of my ferret books say anything about hicups. She is going to the vets next week for her distemper and if this continues I plan to ask the vet. I just wondered if anyone out there knew anything about this.
