Ferrets are curious - play and exploratory behaviours are essential behaviours for them.
The way ferrets behave depends on their age, personality and past experiences.
Frightened or stressed ferrets may change their behaviour or develop unwanted habits e.g. fleeing/hiding/screaming/hissing/biting.
Signs of discomfort or pain may include reluctance to move, weight loss, anorexia, trembling, collapse, crying, whimpering, and teeth grinding.
