They will chase you around, happily engage in ferret games with you, and try to get your attention to play with them if they feel they are being ignored. Ferrets are very affectionate once they have learned to love and trust you. They can also be cuddly. Not all ferrets are cuddly, but the ones that are can just melt your heart. When ferrets have calmed down after a hard play, and they know you and trust you, they can curl up into a ball on your lap and snooze away for hours.
Ferrets are very intelligent.
They can learn from their mistakes, and rarely make the same mistake more than a few times. They will problem solve, and you would be amazed at just what they can come up with. Now not every ferret is super intelligent, it varies from ferret to ferret, just like people. There are a few dodos out there, but it just makes them more lovable. Ferrets are very personable, and each ferret has its own distinct personality.
