Their choreography often includes bounces into nearby bookcases or walls. Ferrets seem to do this dance just for the joy of being alive. They also make a point of dancing in front of their owners, so that the human being will reach down and grab for them, or get down on their hands and knees and play with them, or at least stomp their feet at them in a simpatico fashion. Most people who own ferrets don't own just one. They have two, three, six, or more.
Ferrets are highly intelligent and learn tricks fairly easily.
King has a ferret that steps on the remote control for the CD player he's in the mood for music. Ferrets are not only intelligent, but incredibly persistent and determined. My ferrets Twiggy and Newfy love to hear the telephone ring. They know it's an opportunity to nose about in forbidden territory. Much as a dog would, ferrets will watch you, get to know your behavior, then work around you.
