I just wanted to add one little bit to this pastime. I too swing my ferrets in various bags as well as in my sweat pants and t-shirts. One day I found out that one of my little guys suffers from motion sickness. He can't take the swinging like the others can. The day I found this out was the day I found him foaming at the mouth. It was mild and thankfully I don't swing my ferrets in an aggressive manner. Since then, I am very careful with any repetitive movement that may make him sick to his stomach, as well as take careful note of how the newcomers react to these types of movements.
