scothunter 12,609 Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 My only suggestion would be to ask around.Something tells me live traps wont do any good as they are pretty young.I might be wrong though mate.I know of older ones coming back after a few days but being kits i dunno.I really hope you get em back.

Certainly ask around... people aren't gonna be a scared of a lil kit. and may take it in ?? Contact the logical places ?? vets, dog warden, police ... all these people get calls when an animal is found... sounds stupid but try a lil squeeky toy around the bottom of the bushes.. lots of ferrets come to the sound even if they've never heard it before... good luck!!!

will.f11 24 Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 A little kit probably wouldnt survive falling 3 floors. I expect it was taken off dead of badly injured by something Quote Link to post
