This is a slightly different twist to the nightmare theme: On several occasions, my one ferret Razz has had dreams/nightmares. Usually it begins with soft moaning and then turns into high pitched whining. I can't stand to hear that so I always wake him up. (very, very gently of course) The first time it happened, I thought his cagemate was beating on him. To my horror, they were both sleeping. When I pulled Razz out of the cage, his legs were stiff and the rest of his body was limp. Luckily a few moments later he woke up, yawned, kissed me and gave me a look like "what's up mom?" I no longer panic when I hear those sounds. I wonder what the dreams/nightmares are about? Maybe Whiskey is being to rough with him in his dreams/nightmares or maybe he's reliving a bit of playtime.
