This idiot is very cute.

That said, I'm going to be a killjoy and say for people who interact or want to interact with ferrets, please know:

1. They will eat anything they're not supposed to, and many of them love styrofoam. It's very bad for them and can cause intestinal blockages. Biodegradable packing peanuts are a safe way to watch them go nuts in foam.
2. It's not safe to hold them up by their scruff like that. You can use it to immobilize them for things like nail clipping or meds and it's really effective. But you should never use the scruff to support their body weight like that. Their moms do that when they're kits, but it's not safe for a full-sized one.

Some other ferret facts:

• If a female ferret goes into heat, unlike a lot of animals she will not come out of it until she gets pregnant. If she doesn't, the stress of being in heat will eventually kill her. She'll die from being too horny.
• a group of ferrets is called a business
• Rudy Giuliani had an infamous meltdown about ferrets back when he was mayor of New York.
• Ferrets are sometimes employed as electrician's assistants to run wire through inaccessible spaces.

I like ferrets.
