I was so glad I was home.  I have been thanking God for an hour!  I am
taking care of a friends ferrets and one of them got his foot stuck in the
corner of the cage.  I was just letting out my ferrets because I had been
gone all day when the one that nips started screaming.  I thought they were
fighting so I looked in on them and there he was twisting and turning his
paw stuck in the cage.  I reached in and tried to help him but I couldn't
get his paw loose!  What a horrible feeling!!!  He is screaming so loud.  I
tired to bend the bars and couldn't.  Finally by lifting him, and pulling
on the bars I got him loose.  Talk about scared.  He limped when I put him
down so he could use the litter box.  I put a cold compress on him and let
him stay in the carrier for about an hour.  I took plastic ties and made
sure every corner and possible place was secure.  I see a red mark on his
toes but he didn't limp when I let him out again.  I think if anything had
been broken he would still be limping right?  That was the first time he
licked me and didn't bite me.  Thank God I was home.  Please check your
cages and make sure there isn't a place where a paw could get stuck.
Thanks
