Experiencing shaking and a rapid heartbeat, known as tachycardia, in ferrets can indeed be concerning. These symptoms might stem from stress, excitement, or potentially more serious conditions like heart issues or infections.

To begin with, think about any recent changes in your ferret's environment or daily routine that could be causing stress. It's important to provide a calm and comfortable space for your ferret to relax. If you notice these symptoms occurring during playtime or after exercise, they might simply be due to excitement or physical exertion.

Keep an eye on your ferret for any additional symptoms such as lethargy, difficulty breathing, or changes in appetite, as these could signal a more serious condition. Ensure your ferret stays hydrated and maintains a healthy diet. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be prudent to consult with a veterinarian to rule out any underlying health issues.

If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.
