Additional disclaimer for this video: The way I am holding Wheatley to show his teeth is called "scruffing." It doesn't hurt, but it temporarily causes a ferret to go limp. It's commonly used as a discipline technique, but I've never used it that way I've only ever used it while grooming, so he does not see it at a punishment and it is completely safe. During the bath, when he is on his back, he is free to turn over whenever he wants I'm not holding him in position. We have developed a relationship of trust over the years and he will often fall asleep in that position. I would never do anything to intentionally hurt my ferret.
