They all do that. I have no idea why. Its know variously as the Weasel War Dance, Chitter dance, The Ferret Dance of Joy etc. Don't ask me why they do it, but its really funny. This morning I let them out of the cage and Osmar raced to our bedroom and climbed on the bed. Wendy was playing with him and he began the weasel dance... right off the bed. The never seem to watch where they're going. They'll bounce off walls, into doors, people etc.
