Here is a suggestion to find your snoozing deaf ferret: supply him with suitable napping spots that you can reach. I assume you can entice your ferret to use it by moving used bedding at those spots. Boum Boum, our deaf dark eyed white, is the one that has the largest number of sleeping spots. Here are some of those: Wooden box & acrylic blanket in the cupboard under the kitchen sink Kitchen drawer lined with rags Under the book case Under a chest of drawers Behind or next to storage boxes in closets Behind tall stereo speakers Cardboard box full of old camping clothing Plastic pan lined with sheep fleece (or rags) Cardboard box full or carded sheep fleece A place popular with other ferrets is: Plastic pet carriers lined with blankets or rags, stored under a table.
