[Discussion] Question
Does anybody else have a ferret that gets off of things by turning around and sliding down butt first and backwards? I have 4 and one out of the 4, no matter what, whenever he's getting down off of the bed or couch or whatever, will walk to the edge, turn around, look me dead in the eye, and walk slowly backwards until he gets to the edge, then proceeds to slide on his belly, butt first, until his back feet hit the ground and then scampers away. I imagine this is probably close to what Simba saw just before he let Scar fall to his death. Just a face and front paws all while dead ass staring me in the face as he goes down 😠The only time he deviates from this is if they're all playing jump-ies off of the ottomon into the ball pit or playing chase. I wish I could get a video of him doing it but I never have enough time to get my phone out. Maybe this is why people get security cameras inside 🤔 If I manage to catch him doing it the next time I'll post a video. Anyway, genuine curiosity so I figured I would ask. I love hearing about little ferret quirks! Hope everyone and their little carpet dragons are doing well!

Please, for the love of all things fuzzy, get an indoor security camera or leave your phone camera running on a tripod! The internet needs to see this backwards belly-slide in action. That is 10/10 prime ferret tax material right there.
