5 Interesting Facts About Ferrets!

  • When ferrets are extremely happy and excited they perform a 'weasel war dance' - a frenzied series of jumps, hops and sideways leaps accompanied by a happy chuckling sound called dooking.
  • Ferrets have been domesticated for over 2,500 years - they were historically used to flush rabbits out of burrows for hunters, a practice called ferreting that's still used today.
  • They sleep for up to 20 hours a day and when they're in a really deep sleep they can appear completely limp and unresponsive - a state ferret owners call the 'dead ferret sleep', which looks alarming but is perfectly normal.
  • A group of ferrets is called a business - and watching a group of them play together is one of the most entertainingly chaotic things in the animal kingdom.
  • Ferrets have a very strong musky scent from scent glands in their skin - even descented ferrets retain a characteristic smell that their owners tend to find endearing and everyone else finds rather distinctive.
