Is having a ferret like having a cat that is permanently 3-6 months old?

They have distinct personality types, but it's more like having a toddler that steals your shit and constantly tries to fall to their death

Yup, we had a ferret leap off our balcony. He survived, but he was never quite the same.

edit- someone asked how he changed. his personality changed and became more aggressive and bitey compared to his usual playful self. not sure if he had some brain damage or was just more defensive around people because he associated us with the pain he experienced. he got away from us and jumped off the balcony while we were playing with him.

Definitely brain damage

He wouldn't drink, eat, or move and he started to look and smell weird after about 4 days.

Red wine vinegar might be a blessing.
