Just a comment that, as nice and noisy bell collars can be, my ferret zooey lost hers in the couch right before she took off outside and was lost for 3 days. She was very good at losing that thing. Minta & Linus by the way, we did get her back. Through a bizarre set of random meetings and such, Zooey was returned to us. Sans collar, but a little more content to stay closer to home.
