I have actually seen ads on Craigslist for lost ferrets and often wondered HOW a ferret can go missing but your post actually answered my question LOL They are definitely sneaky little guys and can get out of many situations. Our ferrets (we don't have any right now) have always had full run of the house, except bedrooms, for a minimum of 2 hours a day and often longer. The reasoning for me was that I had other pets in the house and I was trying to adopt out these poor little guys, a well socialized ferret is much easier to adopt out and mine always played with the dogs. The only exception to that was when I had a large white one and the largest sable and him would wrestle pretty hard...well the sable decided that Kotton looked like his white ferret brother and tried to wrestle...Kotton became terrified (for obvious reasons) so that ferret was restricted to two rooms away from Kotton.
