RIP.JD 21 Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Get your carry box and leave some of your clothes in as bedding. Mine came back two days after I lost her, just found her curled up in the box... I went looking every night as more chance of catching a glimpse of her eyes reflecting... Good luck Oli 2 Quote Link to post
northern lad 2,292 Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Don't give up matey,I had one loose for 10 days and turned up in a neighbours chicken coup Quote Link to post
leegreen 2,169 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Any good size live trap will do, rabbit, mink, squirrel, even a good size rat trap. Don't give up mate, I got mine back after more than 2 weeks. Skinny and with bite marks. Recovered to full health. I put traps all over the place, finally caught under hutch. Quote Link to post
matt1979 766 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Worth getting in touch with local vets. I lost 3 a long time ago 2 were handed in a the vets an the other one had been found by my neighbours kids lol they took it in as didn't know is was mine kids were gutted when I knocked on o ask if they had seen any ferrets atb Quote Link to post
maxwell 88 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Ive done excactly the same and mine have getting out a few times and i just whistle and if they near by they normally come back just like a dog especially if they hungry, cos every time I go to feed them I whistle. They got out once four of them got three of them back by whistling but one never came back and I had a feeling something had happened to it and I was right, the lad along the street has two huskies in a pen it had gone in there and they killed it.They normally dont go far will probably be under some ones shed. cheers les Quote Link to post
Longers7 720 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 That's a nitemare Dan, my 3 got out a while back!
