Rob Greenhill 2 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 went up to feed my ferrets tonight and was shocked to say the least when i found only 2 jills instead of my 4, one of my hutches wasnt locked properly i think through my fault rushing around yesterday. i have set a cage trap and left there box out open with some grubb in but realy dont know what els to do and im fairly worried as both me and my next door neighbour breed african grey parrots. any suggestions on how to get them back asap much apreciated. cheers rob Quote Link to post

huntingladjohn 14 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 had mine get out a few times, iv trained mine to the whistle so sometimes i call and they turn up but iv had it in the past were iv found all but one and they have been gone for a few days and then turn up when it suits them, i find setting traps its the best way and just letting the neighbours know there missing, having a look about with the lamp and also check around the cage at night iv had it when mine have gone missing they been tryin to get back in hope they turn up Quote Link to post
joe14 98 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I had one go missing and they can travel far in a short space of time so i would start postering now. Also ring vets up and put them in lost/found book. Ring rspca and ferret rescues. Mine wa seen quite a distance away from the house, people saw him but they wouldnt dare pick him up, was chipped aswell.. Quote Link to post

Rob Greenhill 2 Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 yeah i keep checking in the garden with the lamp just hoping the other one shows her face the little mare. an african grey would be a very expensive dinner for a ferret. cheers rob Quote Link to post
crazy ferreter 14 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Same happened to me I was running around people's garden looking for her..I gave up hope after 4 days of setting traps and no luck on the 5 day when I came home there she was walking around the garden Quote Link to post
NETS 11 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Thats a shame about the ferrets if it was me id do as your doing with the traps, but i would also look about with my dogs for them.I would let the neighbours know too if you have some close by and if theres local kids nearby tell them theres a reward(as a working ferret is worth it) if they find them as kids when a few quids involved can spend hours/most the day looking another thing kids are good for is spreading the word every where theres ferrets missing and who owns them.I'm sure your grey parrots will be fine from the ferrets as any wire used to keep parrots in can keep a ferret out unless its big sized wire with 3in squares or so.Good luck finding them Quote Link to post
