>We are leaving town in April for about 6 days-it's a real *have to*....

I've had to leave mine a couple times now for a vacation.  Mine were still
in their own cage, but were not getting the kind of attention they normally
get.
 
I think they'll be a little stressed but if they all stay together, it will
be less stressful.  Take some bedding for them with your scent on it, and I
bet that will help.  I'm sure they'll view it as an adventure.

Oh yes, they'll still remember you!  :) Even my non-kissy ferrets let me
know they were glad to see me!  :) I've had more trouble with my dog
refusing to eat while I was gone than the ferrets.  They seem to do just
fine, really.
