Sorry if this is gonna sound stupid, but I would like to ask something of those of you who write about taking your ferrets to parks where they romp around, climb trees, charm strangers, etc. I would love to do this, but Cody, Chip and Dale don't seem like the obedient type. Aren't you afraid they'll run away? Or do you have them on leashes all the time? I have taken mine outside on leashes, and they seem to love it. After a few minutes they stop dragging themselves around dramatically and start happily hopping along. But I would be afraid to let them off the leash. Are my ferrets just outlaws or what is the proper way to let your ferrets run free at the park/beach/playground? Thanks for any suggestions. Kat [Posted in FML issue 1663]
