I think I must have missed the first post about Pogo being switched. But here is my story for what it is worth. I lost one of my ferrets one time because my husband's fraternity brother was stupid enough to let her out when I was at work. (Don't tell him I said that, he feels really bad about it. ;) ) Anyway, she made it a couple of doors down fraternity row and was adopted by another fraternity. I was grief stricken because I just didn't know what happened to her. About 6 weeks later, I got word that there was " another ferret down the row at this other house that was found just wondering about". To make a long story short, we did reason that it was the same ferret and I got her back. One of the problems was, she was under year old when I lost her and this was winter time. And as any long time ferret owner knows, a ferret's appearance can change a lot during that first shedding. So, the moral of the story is, if your ferret is still really young, it really COULD have changed a lot in two weeks. But, if you are sure that there is foul play here, you have my encouragement to conger up all the wrath within you and clean house with your friends back sides!
