Yes, yes, YES, there is a LOT you can do to locate a lost ferret and time is so precious here! Donna Christen of the FML laid out a great format in retrieving lost ferrets years ago. Most people remember following her adventures in trying to locate her Eppy after a significant time period during the cold, winter months in Wisconsin. Then this past year, Chris Matlick also contributed and spoke at the symposium about her Fidgets' get away and obstacles in being reunited with her life long pal.
