Dear Nancy and daughters I am so sorry to hear of Ali's accidental death. A friend recently lost her sweet boy Gusto the same way. He was able to climb a cage, but got stuck between the cage and wall on his way down. A few years ago my own Bizzy got stuck in a dining room chair. We were lucky as I was home. When I first saw her she was struggling. It took me a few minuets to break the chair and release her, by that time she was unconscious. Bizzy recovered, but I never did. We no longer have that dining set. I now know there are only two kinds of ferret owners.... those that have experienced a accident, and those that will. Little comfort I know, but there are too many of us that share your grief.... Ardith [Posted in FML 7121]
