Nobody Loves Balls As Much As These Adorable Ferrets!

Pets have it pretty good. In exchange for a lifetime of Soylent-like formulated meals and pooping in a box, all they have to do is provide a steady stream of cuddles and over-the-top cuteness to help us forget about whatever headache the world happens to throw at you. Take these excited little ferrets playing in a ball pit for example:

Just the sound of these frisky little things popping about in a mess of plastic balls is enough to fill the most miserly of hearts with glee.

These ferrets are performing what’s commonly called a “weasel war dance,” a dance consisting of sideways and backwards hops and general frenzied frolicking. And don’t worry; despite its aggressive name, this energetic dance is more of a invitation to play than to throw down

One more time for the cheap seats in the back!
