I had pin worms when I was about four years old. I got them from an infected piece of beef. If your little one had pin worms, he wouldn't have been able to sleep or relax at all. They are called pin worms, because they have a pin like snout that they stick into the intestinal wall right around the rectum. It causes a sensation that is hard to describe, but the sensation is so strong that it would be like some one tickling you all of the time. My Mother took me to the doctor, and he gave me some medicine which killed the pin worms in about a day or so. Until they were killed, I was about to loose my mind with the never ending sensation. So, if your little one is not poking at his rear end all of the time, unable to sleep, and simply wants to move around all of the time, then it is a good bet that he doesn't have pin worms. Either that, or he is the most composed and placid little ferret on the face of the planet.
