Well the past 24 hours have just been the worst experience.  A little over
a week ago I took in two owner surrenders and normally I let all of my guys
run around the house for the better part of the day.  Because I've gotten
two sets of adoptees in the last month, I was still trying to keep people
seperate (just to make sure we didn't have green slime or anything) as far
as playtime went.  When I started using the squeak toy to find my two
babies only one came out.  Even though this does make me frantic it's
happened many many times before and once the ferret is done resting he/she
always comes out of hiding to get a snack, water, whatever.
 
Well the bottom line is that it has been 24hours now and I am hysterical!
I have literally looked in every drawer, cabinet, under the bed, in the
bed, behind furniture, in the frig, in the dishwasher etc etc etc.  It is
just inconceivable that he got out!  I guess it is possible (and I'm going
to post a notice down here in the morning err.. it is morning so anytime
now i guess) but I always have animals running around and I am *always* so
careful when I go near the door (and I'm the only one who lives here - who
can open a door that is!)
 
So I feel like a horrible mom and I've squeaked his little squeaky toy so
much I think I'm giving the other babies a headache (or neurosi).  Does
anyone possibly have any idea for some crazy place they've found a ferret
before?  I just have this horrible nightmare that I'm going to find him
dead or something:~(
