Don't fret too much, yet. Ferrets are domesticated creatures and when they get out they often don't stray too far. Get outside with your pals and keep looking. Mine have returned to their open nest box before now, when they've got tired and hungry. Good luck Quote Link to post

Definatly worth setting a cage trap (if it is big enough for a ferret ) and putting cardboard or wooden boxes stuffed with hay about the garden with a dead rabbit tied securely in each . . They do sometimes wander aimlessly away but quite often stay in the area. Keep looking and if you are on good terms wit any neighbours ask them to do the same . Good luck . Quote Link to post

martnmagik 68 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 do you keep other ferrets? if so put them on a lead in the garden to play you may find the other will appear from somewhere and join them to play.. its a long shot and sounds a bit silly but it once worked for me good look Quote Link to post

matt241075 12 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 hi mate ring the RSPCA, if someone finds it it will be the first call there make, or check for a ferret rescue close to your location,ive had ferrets returned a few times just by phoning these people. im sure 99% of us who keep ferrets have had a few go missing there are escape artists.. good luck Quote Link to post
