>My question is can ferrets dream? Has anyone else experienced this? They sure do. I can recall one time when Felix the late albino cuddleweasel was fast asleep on my chest, laying on his side. I looked down and his front paws were twitching in a typical "walking" pattern...he stopped after a few seconds, and made "lapping up water" motions with his tounge(sp?) and mouth. After his imaginary drink, he resumed "walking", and then curled much tighter into a ball, like he was dreaming about settling in for a nap! I've seen both rats and dogs suddenly awaken from nightmares. My newest baby fert, little Hairy Crumb *may* have jumped awake not long after he came home - so no, you're not going insane.
