I've read this type of ferret adventure before over the years on the FML - a fert escapes through hole around plumbing in kitchen or bath cabinets, namely in apartments. Please ferret-proof your cabinets or, at least, visually check for holes within the cabinets. Never underestimate a ferret. The general rule is...where their head will fit through, their body will follow. Shari Gunter [Posted in FML issue 2632]
