ferret Spike and puppy Yuki playtime!

It's playtime! Ferrets are very playful animals, much like kittens or puppies that never grow up. They have many behaviours related to play and play "hunting" which confuse or even frighten people unfamiliar with ferret body language. The most common action is the "war dance," where the ferret arches his back, throws his head back with fangs bared, often bushing up his tail, and maniacally bounces forward, backwards, sideways, all the while chittering happily away. As seemingly mad as this dance may seem, it is only a challenge to come down to his level and play. If you imitate his actions, he will become more frenzied (hard to imagine though this may be) and start chasing you, stop suddenly, turn and run. Now it's your turn to chase him. Another common message is pawing the ground while semiprone: This is a challenge to a play fight. Paw the ground yourself, and he will jump at you, and then retreat. A few more bouts of pawing and jumping, and he will attack your hand or wrist, wrestling it down and attempting to "kill" it. All ferrets have an affinity for people and want to include their parents in their play. This is a major bounding component in a ferret's life. Due to his extremely strong jaws and small, sharp teeth, a young ferret easily can break a person's skin during these games. The ferrets' thick fur and skin protects them when they play together. It takes a while for them to realize that humans have only thin skin and no fur, which is no protection against bites. When the ferret bites or nips too hard, simply do what is natural and yelp in pain. Once they recognize that they are hurting us, ferrets modify their play so as not to do damage. This rough play is an essential part of a ferret's life, especially when young. Nipping, that is pinching the skin hard without breaking it, is another invitation to play. Some kits never nip, but most do and, though they do mellow with age, this is a normal communication process with ferrets.
