My heart goes out to anyone out there who has a lost ferret. I can barely imagine the heartache and horror of the situation. In such a case I can only imagine searching as close as humanly possible 24 hours a day. However, I was thinking realistically (and in helping someone else search - I saw a lost ferret ad in a local paper) what is the best time of day to search. Is there a time when ferrets would naturally be out and about. Hard to imagine a domestic ferrets action in suddenly wild or natural surroundings. But I was wondering if perhaps there is a time they would instictually venture out, when it felt more natural or safer to them. Any thoughts? Risa [Posted in FML issue 5130]
