I'm happy to hear that Bastian is back home where he belongs. This should be a very important leason to you Kim and everyone else that has ferrets as part of their family. Ferrets should NEVER be aloud to have full free roam of a house when we are not home to supervise them. Now I do believe in caging, but IMO it is also OK to let them have run of a safe & escape proofed room. Also, If a ferret is not going to be used for breeding such as in the case of Bastian, they should be ALTERED. This way, they will not feel the need to seek a mate for breeding purposes.
