Flat Ferretting????

[Sarah]

Hi All,

Can someone please explain what this is and explain what it means when they do it.  I think my big male is doing it and I can't tell if he's not feeling well or just being lazy.  He did become a bit of a chubb this winter.

Thanks

He is just taking a short break before he plays again. We also call this a speed bump.
Don't worry, if he didn't feel well, he wouldn't lay right in the middle of the floor.

Here is a list of terms and definitions that might help:

Thanks, I actually found this list but had never heard it called speed bump before. Makes perfect sense.

Although if he does it a lot it could be a symptom of insulinoma, which causes low blood sugar
