Ferrets usually like to sleep piled together in a heap.
Even after you've ferretproofed, you still have to be careful where you sit. Pixxel and Rusty, shown here full-grown at about a year old, enjoy sleeping in a hollow in this bean bag chair, sometimes burrowed into a towel or sweatshirt. Most ferrets tolerate baths, and some enjoy them quite a bit. Here are Pixxel and Rusty, at 5 months and 10 weeks, swimming in the tub. They certainly are flexible animals.
