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 -- Lydia and the crew Snickers, Casper, Bubba, Smokey, Trooper, Sassy, Murray Missing Mr. Snowman.
