I have to add that we lived in a two-story townhome at the time, and one of the games Sid and I used to play was to chase each other up and down two flights of stairs. We did this well into his old age and he always amazed me how fast he could get up two flights of stairs. So I'd have to say that he got more exercise than any ferret I've had since.
