Hi everyone. I thought of something useful, if it hasn't already been thought of, for finding a lost ferret. I was thinking about something the Police Department does around here to help find lost kids. A lot of times a photograph is necessary and parents don't have a recent photo. They set up a booth and take videos/pictures of the kid as well as finger prints - so the parent has them. Now, pets grow a lot faster than kids, so you would have to do this more often, about every month at least until they are full grown. Take a picture of your pet. The face, the side, any special markings. Then, you can have them at hand if ever your pet should get lost outside. As a ferret owner, you know what a ferret is, but there are a lot of people that don't know - especially colorings. When you tell a "non-ferret" person "she is a silver mitt" wouldn't it be easier to show a picture? And it doesn't have to be a glamour shot - get a picture in a context where you can tell the size of the animal too. Maybe hold them. Well, I'm gonna start our photo collection today. That way, it will be easier to describe a "chocolate sable, with a chocolate nose". If this has already been thought up, then I think it is a great idea.
