We aquired our first three ferrets while living in a pet-free builiding
(which fails to explain the squaking bird and barking dog above us) and were
fortunate to have a very senile landlord.  Nonetheless we were paranoid that
we'd get busted.  The one thing we had to be careful of was windows.  A few
times I'd come home from work, look up, and see one of the gang up in the
window peering out.  There was a fire alarm one night and we had to stuff
everyone into a carry-on duffle bag.  I just casually walked to my car and
we took a little drive.  We're in a much better place now (for all of us)!
Good luck!
