Escaped ferret

[Aaron_butcher 17]

I came home from work today and the hutch door was wide open, one ferret was asleep and the other was nowhere to be seen. I've set a few hutches and cages with some towels and rabbits in to try and lure him back. Is there anything else I can do to try and get him home? Considering one was still in the hutch the other one can't have been gone that long.

Thanks, Aaron.

There ain't much more you can do tonight mate, perhaps let your nieghbours know to keep thier eyes open . It's a worrying situation this, most times if you put a bit of grub out and a box with hay in it you'll find it there in the morning. Good luck mate

Contact you local sspca or rspca, put up posters and ask the local kids, even offer a reward you be surprized how many young kids will help look if they think they getting paid , even if it only £5 you give them atleast if ever happens again they might help out.

this happened to me a couple of years ago ,the police have a designated rescue centre which all animals are taken to, the ferret we lost was taken to a centre twenty miles away, ask the police/pdsa. good luck.

I lost one from my garden a couple of years ago. I looked everywhere and eventually resigned myself to loosing him. Three days later I heard a caller on a local radio station say he had found a 'black and white stoat'

 

I went down to see it and there he was, my poley, skinny, knackered but healthy.

 

He had travelled 2 miles through gardens and across busy roads, through an industrial area and across town to be found in an old folks home.

 

Good luck with finding him and don't beat yourself up over it.

if its a male, try and borrow an in season Jill to keep in a cage in the garden.....

That should keep him local

Have you tried a live catch trap baited with a raw egg ?

Get out at night with a lamp and see if you can spot its eyes

I had someone's pet ferret turn up in my garden 3 times last year, sniffing about my jills! On the second occasion, he got sidetracked by my mates rabbit run, bit through the chicken wire run, had a munch on the rabbit and made himself a bed for the night in the rabbit's house! When my mate went to check on the rabbit before he went to work, he lifted the lid on the rabbits little house, the ferret opened it's eyes, yawned and stretched, then toddled over to the rabbits water bottle for a drink!

A couple of years ago my ferret got out and I didn't see her for 3 weeks!! thought she was a gonner, then it turned up in next doors garden! when I put her back in her hutch she was so thirsty and hungry and she slept for a couple of days. So you could be lucky.

Top tip - if he do turn up i would say treat him for fleas and ticks as prob picked some tick eggs on his travels, best treating before they become a problem.
