I am a college student who came home yesterday to find that three of my ferrets had escaped! Much to my horror, my neighbor told me she saw them frolicking about my yard, and in my other neighbor's yard, all afternoon. But she hadn't seen them for about a half an hour at the time I spoke to her. Frantically I searched for my babies, and all three had decided to explore my garage. I found them all in a matter of minutes. (Whew! LUCKY!!!) Anyway, I often see people talking about losing their pets, often without the luck I was fortunate enough to have in this case. Does anyone know if ferrets are prone to roam? Or do they stick around when left free? (I realize there are dangers in letting them roam, but I just wondered what they are inclined to do if given the opportunity.) I know cats can be let out and they'll come back... how about ferts?
