I agree with all the writings about: "Losing a ferret (or any animal) for several days is not normal!" Accidents happen but when there is a pattern over and over, when the same type of things occur, then something should perhaps be changed or corrected. No one doubts Mr. Owings love for his ferrets they are just worried as would anyone no matter what type of animal it is. We should take this in the spirit it was given: worried about those ferrets and offering help or advice to someone who may need it. Lisa Sammy, Teddy, Casper, & Max [Posted in FML issue 4623]
