Ok so first of all I don't mean your friend that comes over occasionally or anything like that. I'm talking about my mom. She comes to visit sometimes just because, and recently expressed to me that my ferrets stress her out. On one hand I would like her to be comfortable as a guest - she isn't afraid of them or anything - but on the other hand this is their home. If we're watching a movie or something I'm not going to make them stay in their cage just because she is here, I don't think it's fair. When school starts up again the weekend will be their most free time all week (they have quite enjoyed me being unemployed and out of school this summer, lol). 

I know she will visit but I don't think its fair to leave them cooped up the whole time just because shes here. Any suggestions?
