I know that ferrets can be deaf, but can they be hard of hearing? I really think that Sneezy has a problem hearing. I have a squeaky toy that I use to round her and Daisy up. Well, I've got to go right beside the couch and squeak it before Sneezy will wake up.

Daisy on the other hand will come running to you if you squeak it in the other room.

I don't think that Sneezy is deaf, I just think that she can't hear as good as she should. Can ferrets lose their hearing over time. When she was little, she used to be just like Daisy. If she was in the cage and you squeaked it, she'd be trying her best to get out of the cage.

Just wondering.
