oh no!What a sweet little ferret...all pathetic eyes and silky fur...awwwwwww.
Is there any chance he's just burrowed in some remote hiding spot somewhere in the house and sleeping? How long has he been missing?
Sending you best wishes and ferret-finding vibes. I hope he turns up safely soon.
No we looked all over the apt.
Have been looking all over the complex and had the super and manager look and notes up and stuff so the tenants know it's a ferret.
She said it had to be last night around 9 cause when she cleans the cage, Rocco and Suja (the other little one) stay on the hammocks and all she did was open the door turn back get the bag and close the door and then she noticed he was gone.
Thanks. Mom is so sad. We adopted him from the shelter cause when she picked him up he gave her kisses, to this day he only gives her kisses and him and Dolly, her little dog play all the time, it's funny cause he chases the dog lol
I'm sure glad it wasn't Suja cause Suja is her baby!!! Mom fell in love with ferrets from that movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger but never had one and almost 7 yr ago, for Mothers day she fell in love with this little girl and well the adoption fee I didn't have it but I asked my boss for an advance in pay and he said "sure" anyway I went and got her and hid her in moms bathroom and said "Mom could you get me a qtip?" and she looked at me like "wth can't you get it?" lol and when she opened the door she screamed "AH OMG OMG YOU GOT HER OMG!"
Ohhhhhhhhhhh I have been trying to avoid thinking about this cause I don't want to be sad! but mom is heart broken. Rocco is Suja's little friend and Rocco is very loved, plus he's so much fun, they follow mom all over and oh.
He's adorable! I sure hope he turns up soon, I want to see more pictures of the little guy![]()

Sending you out good vibes hon. hes such a wee cutie, I hope he finds his way home soon.
Have you tried the pound yet? When we lost Archie a few years ago, it turned out that some neighbors had trapped him and turned him in to the pound.
When I lose something, I usually pray to God and St. Anthony for help, and I always find it. But I've never tried it with a lost pet. Pets sort of have free will.
Hope you find the cutie.





Ferrets are reaaaaal slippery buggers. I bet he's in the wall. Or on the ceiling. Ferrets are like Spiderman and Floam combined.

Put up signs in the neighborhood around your apartment too!
I've known plenty of people who've gotten their animals back by putting up signs, and otherwise it wouldn't have happened.

WE FOUND HIM!
Ok so the new neighbor did, she had a bunch of boxes in the balcony and she was moving them and she screamed, called the super and the super said "that's not a rat that's Rocco!" grabbed him, knocked on moms door and said "hey neighbor does this belong to you?!" ahhhhhh mom just called in tears and I am crying from joy, I was all day there with her looking!!! yay!!!!!



So glad you found your baby!!!

That's really good news
Now, can you put little harnesses with tags on them, and keep them on? Do people do that, like with cats and dogs? I've heard of far too many ferrets who get lost like this (and don't get found). A harness (NOT collar) would identify the animal as a pet (not a wild rat or something) and give contact info...
THANK GOODNESS! I am still sorta surprised that people don't know what ferrets look like.
I know. Well they do and Suja keeps hers on but Rocco hates it.
Yeah the thing is people think they are not pets and kill them.
I have to make an apt to have him checked cause mom says he isn't showing signs of being hungry and she is wondering what he ate and all that and a check up would be wise right now.
I kept saying please if someone finds him don't kill him.
I'm so glad you got him back. He may not be eating just because he's a little tramatized from his little adventure. Hoping that's all it is.
BTW - I can't believe people actually think ferrets are rats! What, like they are really giant long, flexible rats with odd looking feet? Have these people never SEEN rats. I'm not even really a ferret person, but damn, I know what they look like and that they are pets, not pests. Some people are incredibly ignorant!
