Dead Ferret syndrome.

Sounds very strange to me, but I dont know a thing about ferrets! Glad he was ok in the end!

Kazz, Im not sure if it is similar in some way to the way Hamsters hibernate and I know plenty of those have been buried alive.

Yes thats what made me think. Maybe the fact they are bigger than hamsters and more interactive with their owners that people would think twice about burying a ferret, whereas people may be less likely to take a dead hamster to the vet given their short life span too.

Wow that was a scary moment How often do they do this Dawn and what causes them to do it?

[borderdawn]

Have no idea Fran, they apparently can just sleep very deeply, no reason has been found for it, nor do they ever suffer any ill effects from it.Dawn.
