Ferrets in fictional are generally energetic characters. Being really hyperactive, they're depicted as {{Genki Girl}}s or {{Keet}}s with boundless amounts of energy. This often also means they have [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny short attention spans]], or in the case of {{Talking Animal}}s, they might be a MotorMouth.

This is TruthInTelevision. Ferrets are very lively and curious pets, even more-so than cats. They're prone to doing a "weasel war dance" when particularly excited. Some ferret owners even struggle to keep up with their ferrets because they're too energetic for them! Of course, however, this hyperactivity decreases as they get older, and they might not be as playful at ages 5-6 as they were when they were kits.
