My husband and I have 4 ferrets and no kids. I had guests a few weekends ago and they had a 2 year old little girl. I was a little leary about how she would be with the ferrets. She desperately wanted to be around our cat, but he wanted little to do with her. So she tried the ferrets. They LOVED her. I've never seen these ferrets as wound up with one person before. Sure they play with us, but they treated her like another ferret. Pouncing on her, CHASING her, it was a riot to watch. And she loved carrying them around like little babies, and they just ate up the attention from her.
