Hi Nicole,
Sometimes ferrets are stiff when they are scared. I don't know if
that's what this could be, but just thought I would offer a
suggestion as to why he doesn't dangle when you pick him up. Is
this all the time, or just when he's in unfamiliar territory (like
at the vet's)? Some ferrets, even with the best care, are just
genuine fraidy cats. Maybe that's the problem?
