Just had to share this. A few days ago, we had to make the area behind the computer desk ferret-safe; Gimble had figured out how to move the piece of wood we had blocking it off. Of course, this is just a perfect little ferret burrow, and they both want to play back there. Just one problem for Gyre. I've got a box of printer paper in front of the hole to make it a bit more of a challenge. Gimble (who is long and lean all over) jumps up onto the box and dives into the hole with no trouble. Gyre (who is bottom-heavy, not fat, just shaped diffferently) can't make the jump most of the time. She tries to jump, slips, war dances in front of the box, tries to jump, slips back, war dances... You get the idea. She is hilarious to watch! She usually makes it eventually, but it takes a while, and sometimes I take pity on her and help her up.
