Lost Ferret

[Scuzy 1]

Hello all,

 

Ive just lost one of my albino hobs yesterday and he was my best ferret, the wind blew the hutch open and he got out while i was in school.

Ive been looking for him for ages, told all the neighbors etc... but no luck as yet .

My question is, have any of you lost a ferret? How long do they survive? and what can i do to help find him?

 

Regards, Luke.

never lost one yet (touch wood) but one thing i would advise you to do is leave the hutch open and a carry box somewhere else

 

all the best f.k

thanks, i will be out with the lamp tonight to have a look around, ive left his cage open and nest box etc...

leave a live trap or a couple around your garden & maybe one in the front garden, depending on your set-up. personally i wouldnt leave any meat or food in there as it will only attract other unwanted creatures to set it off.

 

place some of your ferrets bedding inside & cross your fingers. but i would get on it straight away as time is short.

i lost my first ferret i ever had she was missing for 3 days we found her in the house across the roads garage ,she had gone in through the cat flap and was curled up asleep in the cats bed with very sore feet,my neighbour only noticed her because the cats wouldnt go in to eat there tea ,my ferret was eating it.

all i can say keep looking and ask the local children for help offer them a fiver for the one who finds him thats usually gets them looking good luck and hope you get him back

i lost my ferret a week ago and i went out on the lamp the next day and i found him............they only live for a week or two best of luck

in my experience they dont tend to travel far, its probably in someones nearby shed or garage or greenhouse.

 

Posters around the area, ask the local kids, ask the postman, local shop and police station as well as the local rspca etc...in case they get it handed in.

 

also anyone who keeps chickens,pigeons,rabbits etc...warn/ask them

 

 

one of my ferrets escaped whilst being looked after a few years ago by an old boy in a neighbouring town, she was out 3 days and was found in someones greenhouse, they were feeding her cat food and petting her

 

live capture traps (i would bait them with food) good idea

 

How long ferrets survive feral?? some survive years and turn truly wild, others which have been worked with dogs and trust dogs get kileld by someones pet terrier

 

 

good luck in finding him!

They can survive a lot longer then that.

Ok guys, just had a major breakthrough,

Just went out tonight and knocked a few doors in my cul-de-sack and one man at the bottom of my street said that a scruffy man had knocked on his door the day my ferret went missing and asked him could he go in his back garden to get HIS ferret?!?!?! i thought the cheekey B*****d and then the man in the house said the scruffy man walked away to his car with a ferret in his hands!

I dont know what to do beacause the man could have stolen him or is just keeping him safe?!?!

 

EDIT:My father thinks he knows the man who picked my ferret up as my father thinks the man is a keen ferreter himself so hes going up his house tommorow with a few of his mates to have a little word with him :realmad:
