    Following a tragic exposure to a burst of gamma radiation, that ferret ended up mutated and horribly deformed, and later went on to get elected to the House of Representatives under the moniker Matt Gaetz.

    Ferrets fucking love dark tunnels.

    We got our first ferret back in 86 on a whim. Brought her back home and basically let her run free. It took her an astonishingly short amount of time to find her way into the sump-pump drainage pipes running around the foundation of our house. She shimmied in and out like it was nothing.

    We learned all about ferret proofing very quickly after that.

      According to the article, it didn’t, but they didn’t know that when they bought the ferret. The particles weren’t making it through and they didn’t know why, so they employed a ferret to explore the tube. When she made it around, they knew there was no obstruction, and realized they had a different problem.
