I found an escapee last night.  Borrowed a cage, made her a box cave, played with her until she was tired today and now she is sleeping.  I don't know if I want a ferret. I have 4 chickens, 3 cats and a dog. I am looking for her owner but having a tough time since they are illegal here- I am not sure owners really willing to admit they lost her (or maybe I am afraid to give her back to bad owners). I have been doing research and I am not sure I know what I am getting into.  I am willing to give it a try but want your opinions.  I think she is sweet, my cats are terrified and my dog is curious.  She cannot really roam my house- too many little issues. She can however hang out in my teenagers room for a short time everyday.
