Ok i just got new ferrets and every time they go onto my living room rug and then sniff it they start bugging out like they'll keep jumping really high sometimes almost flipping and then start rolling around and its only when they sniff the rug is when they do this and they do it every time. Is it bad for them to be going on that rug?
Yeah, just enjoy the show. They're having fun.
They are excited to be in a new room. This is called the weasle war dance they are doing. Means they are happy.
War dance. Weasles jump and flip around when they are happy.
Lol, no it's not bad for them to be on that rug. Like the others said, it's the weasel war dance or their dance of joy, whichever you call it, it means their excited. Mine do this on the carpet in the upstairs hallway, none of the other carpeting/rugs in the house, only the bit that runs through the hall. They could be smelling something that's getting them excited. When mine do their dance, I usually get down on my hands and knees, hit the floor with my hands and go towards them, it will get them even more excited and then a game of chase will start.
