If you decide to take your ferret outdoors, please attach a leash with lead on him/her. Ferrets are naturally curious/adventurous and can run faster than you/me! When walking my two girls, who go opposite directions of course, I add an extra lead so that they can nose around further (10 feet). If you cannot find the leash+lead set locally, the FML advertising issue coming up should have some for sale in it.
