Lost Ferrets

Always protect your furry friends from getting outdoors - if they get beyond the scent area that is familiar to them, they will get lost. Remember that they have very poor eyesight. If you ferret does get out and lost, be persistent. Check with all your neighbors, call the area shelters, humane societies, animal Control and the sheriffs office. Wander around with a "squeaky toy" or rattle - any sound that is one they are used to hearing. You may feel foolish, but you may also save the life of your ferret - remember that they are "fearless". Put up signs in your area - offer a reward - put out a "live trap" with your ferrets favorite treat and a blanket or towel - and check the cage often - but mainly DO NOT GIVE UP!!!!!
