johnmac666 2 Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 (edited) went to feed ferrets earlier & when i got there my hob was hanging out of the nest box curled up with just his head & tail out, my jill was in the compartment below curled up in the corner,which seemed strange as they usually sleep together, so i picked her up & she didnt budge, i put her back in the corner & picked him up he didnt budge either ( by this time my heart is racing & im feeling that silly emotion & fearing the worst )i banged the cage jingle my keys & wistsled, still no reponse , opened shed door & slammed it & they still didnt move, thats when i burst out into a sobbing baby thinking they was dead, by this time my neice had come out to see why a grown man was crying , well the little feckers was sound asleep,they both was looking out of the hutch at me as if i was mad, what a complete fool i feel, just goes to show how the little fekers touch us & how they can sleep through anything,i can laugh about it now , i new they could sleep but they was absolutly no movemnte for 10 minutes, they are now dooking about* chzasing each other in the ball pool as i type this regards john Edited January 1, 2010 by johnmac666 Quote Link to post
mike1458 14 Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Ive done the same mate. Picked one up, no movement and couldnt see it breathing. Went to take it in house thinking it was dead, to dispose of it and then it woke up. I wish I could sleep like that when my terrier is yapping in the morning!!! ATB Mike Quote Link to post
