my ferret has started to push its self forward with its back legs instead of using its front legs , have checked its front legs and cant find any thing wrong with them ,, any help with what this could be would be greatfull

Is it doing it all the time?

Seen them "playing" doing it through grass, but if it all the time sounds more serious.

If its only every now and then it could simply be the ferret itching its underside, they seem to enjoy doing it on carpets. If its persistent, take it to the vets, better safe than sorry

Mine do exactly the same after feeding & rub their chins on new surfaces to scentmark

thanks for al the replys yes it does seem to be doing it all the time, my step son cleaned them out yesterday then took them out , when he got to the first holes he said it was doing it at the entrance so he put it back in box, think it might be a vet job

How olds the ferret ?. A young ferret will do that in a barrow sort of scent marking it where as a older ferret seems to just give its self a shake and enter the hole . theres no a rash on the under side of the ferret you havent changed the bedding ?.
