In reply to the person's "forbidden" question.
A neighboring condo had a fire. Now, if it had been in our own who
knows if I'd have had time to grab all, but as it is I keep two carry
cages atop the night time ferret cage which is in their ferret-proofed
room. All but one came to me readily and I got to hurt myself getting
the most frightened one out from beneath a piece of furniture but he
let me help him. Into a pillowcase I threw meds, purse, and a few
valuables as well as a container of food, and out we went, me carrying
the carry cage and the pillow case. We even have a rope attached to
one of the carry cases in case anyone has to go out a window.
Steve found us all sitting nearby waiting until the fire was under
control. It never did go to our own home, but it is better to be safe.
I think it would take just as long for you to euthanize them to prevent
suffering as it would to SAVE them, so just prep and practice for
emergencies instead.
