I have had ferrets who liked to crawl under the stove, but non in the exhaust pipe. Li'l Girl, my first female ferret, did find her way into the cental heating/cooling unit once, though. I am not sure how she got there, but she peeked out at me. I had to leave it turned off while she was deciding to find her way out. Probably these tendencies arise from the obvious training they get to prepare for lives as electricians! -- Renee Downs "Eventually we will realize that if we destroy the ecosystem we destroy ourselves."
