Our little Sandy Jill, Minstrel, went missing sometime between 10 and 11 PM last night. She is lovely and tame, and quite a pale Sandy coulour
We are in the Greatness Lane area of Sevenoaks, Kent
We are not sure what has happened, as we can not see any means of escape, but having spent most of the night turning everything upside down both inside and outside of the house, coupled with letting the other group of ferrets out to try and find her, we can only assume that she has somehow escaped from the garden.
If you have any news, please call me **************
-
everything crossed here that she is found safe and sound, if theres anything I can do to help let me know
-
Hoping you get her back really soon. :fuzzyhug:
-
Oh no guys, you must be frantic, everything crossed here she's found very soon :fuzzyhug:
-
Guys really sorry :cry:
Every finger and paw crossed here the clever little tyke turns up soon, give us a shout if there is anything we can do xx
:fuzzyhug:

Thanks Guys,
Suz has called all the local places, and I have put up lots of posters with a bounty on her head.
We have spent the day walking around the local area, and luckily, having just got back from 3 odd weeks of camping, there is plenty of (Very) smelly bedding to leave in little piles to try and help her find her way back.
We are at a real loss as to where to look though, as we still can not find how she got out, and more importantly, nor can the 11 other monsters.

:Yippee: :Yippee: :Yippee:
We found her....
I went out for another walk round the area, and suddenly her head popped out from under a fence just 50 Yards from our front door.... Catching her was another story....
I called Suz who came down with Galaxy on a lead, and we let him go under the fence a little way until she came to him... Wow he was so happy to see her...
Now I have to try and work out how she got out.... The problem with Sandy's, they know when you are watching.....

Woo hoooo!!! I'm so pleased to hear she's back home Clive and Suz, what a relief :Yippee: :Yippee: :Yippee: :Yippee: :Yippee: :highfive:
You might even get some sleep tonight now! :fuzzyhug:

Wow guys! what a relief!
Im so so so happy you found her, well done to Galaxy for doing his part (I can tell how happy you are Clive as you didnt call him git lol :laugh: )

(I can tell how happy you are Clive as you didnt call him git lol :laugh: )
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: So so true..
It's made me realise how seriously close Galaxy and Minstrel are, you should see them together now, and Galaxy without her was a sorry site.

OK, so I momentarily softened... I have finally found a use for him... :laugh: :laugh:

So happy for you - felt sick when I saw your post on FeFo so can only imagine how you felt. Does Galaxy get the bounty as he found her - sure he could find a good use for it?

:laugh: :laugh:
I'll just deduct it from the cost of all the things he has wrecked, broken or hidden.... :laugh: :laugh:

So glad she is home, it's a nightmare when they get out. She is like Misty, she can find a gap none of the others can.

:laugh: :laugh:
Well I hope you have told her off now for being a sneaky lil mare (after all the kisses and snuggles of course :laugh: )
-
I'm so happy she is home safe and sound ,little madam! :highfive: :highfive: :highfive: :fuzzyhug:

Have you managed to locate her escape route Clive?

No.... Basically, we have 2 potential ones... one is the aubretia has grown down the wall behind the green house, and with the rubbish that WAS stored behind there, we wondered if she managed to jump up to it, and then climb up it. Don't think so, as there were no tell tale signs, like flower heads/leaves below it, and the jump would have had to be over 2 foot.
The second (more likely) way is, our lovely garden proud neighbours, have managed to damage a bit more of their fence, and there is now a slat just above our plastic ferret proofing that is missing and I think she took a leap of faith from a pile of bricks I had stacked around the side of the shed and got through the gap. Bricks now moved, and hole covered.... That is the area she has re-shown an interest in, so I am guessing it was there.
Funny thing is, Arfer is the escape artist, and climbs and jumps from everything, but he never found it. She now has to have an Escort every time she goes out in the garden until I am happy she has not got somewhere hidden.

hmm like a lot of offenders she proberbly will be good until parole is over :laugh:

Like my Misty, she is a little swine, she will move toys to get over the barrier at the kitchne door, luckily it's the one into the house so she is still relatively safe, just damned hard to find in all the junk in our house. She did it the other day when Mark was having a nap, he thought we had rats in the house
-
We've a few we need to watch - Misty and Billy in particular. Nico is our quickest but she dances and dooks too much to be a stealth ferret. Have been tempted to make duct-tape boots for some of ours, esp, if scratchie, scratchie all night. Would like to bell them but worried about leaving collar/harness on - pity you can't get a RFID on their chips so alarms go off if they move across the perimeter. I know you can get GPS microchips - there was consideration of putting them in the release polecats.
-
oo like the sound of gps chips!
dog has a thermo one but not had a need to use it yet thank goodness
-
The concern is if something goes wrong with chip, hard to recover a wild animal for medical treatment. But do like the idea of the GPS - thing is, due to spectrum interference issues and lack of decent spectrum, the range will be very low esp for an animal that likes to travel. So maybe better suited to jills than hobs.

What's a thermo one? :confused:
Boots/shoes are the way to go then the little buggers won't be able to climb or grip to escape, AND no scratching carpets either :laugh:
-
A thermo chip is one that can give the body temperature if the vets have the specialist scanner. It avoids the need for a rectal temperature. It also has the normal identichip function as well. Havent used them myself so dont know a great deal about them other than the scanners are expensive and the chips cost more than normal identichip ones.
-
yeah did cost more to put it in but both my usual vets have them so works for me :laugh:
-
What a good idea
