Are ferrets flexible???

Question

I was watching a movie and the ferret was REALLY flexible so I was just wonder if they really are that flexible or if it was special effects.

Answer 1

They are pretty flexible, if you look at pictures of them, their backs are always kinda hunched.

Answer 2

They are extremely flexible that is how they can move in and out of small entrances or arch their backs to  get under a door, if you watch a real ferret move or a weasle you would see it.

Answer 3

ferrets are among the few animals (the weasel family, namely) with inverted spines - meaning the curve of their spine goes out, not in like humans.

they are very flexible in that regard, but they cannot bend backwards because of the inverted spine.

Answer 4

oh yea, and anything thier heads can get through, thier bodys can 2

Answer 5

they have back bones...

so it wouldnt be oky to bend them like slinkys .... my ferrets are just long... not really 'flexible'
