Every fall I take mine to a cider mill about 15 miles from my house where there is a park with nature trails along a stream. They love romping through the woods on their leashes (although I'm sure they would rather be free - but that's NOT gonna happen.) They are always the only ferrets at the park although there are tons of dogs with their families. My fuzzies always draw crowds from all over - especially kids - to check them out & pet them. I also have taken them to numerous local parks. A few school playgrounds - after school & on weekends. Whenever we go to PetSmart, PetCo or Pet Supplies Plus they get to come (all those stores welcome leashed pets w/owners.) I've taken them up north to visit friends over a weekend. Also I have a pet stroller so whenever I go for a walk for MY exercise whoever is awake gets tossed in the buggy & goes for a walk too. I always bring the leashes & harnesses so at some point they can get out & stretch their legs & explore. A fave place around our neighborhood has been newly developing subdivisions. Lots of huge dirt piles & unfurnished new construction homes to explore. I don't know how the owners would feel, but as long as they are unlocked they are fair game :) Also, we've gone to several ferret shows, fun fests & this year our first walk-a-thon.
