I have two cage groups. They don't like each other and they fight like crazy when they are put together. I have both cages in our dining room, with a baby gate keeping them out of our bedrooms. Well the baby gate can be opened if not placed just so. Smokey loves to escape and last night he did. Only he took Bubba with him. Bubba is old has adrenal and is not going to be with us too much longer. My ferrets usually come when called. But when I called for Smokey and Bubba, Smokey came. I called and called Bubba. He has always come when I called. I got out the squeaky toy and went all over the bedrooms. No Bubba. We looked for him for over an hour. I kept imagining we would not find him breathing. I started to FREAK. Finally my hubby got the big boys out of the other cage, and let them roam the bedrooms. Within 10 minutes Woozel had found Bubba. He was under my nightstand. Of course getting them out from under there was a royal pain. I was so glad Bubba was alive, and so mad that he didn't come when called. Bubba just looked at me like "Let me at the boy I'll show him who's boss. Mess with me while I sleep!" I don't know what I would have done if Woozel hadn't found him. Oh the joys of having ferrets.
