My ex girlfriend had a ferret named Lucy. When she (the girlfriend) went away to Calgary for 2 weeks she asked me to go to her house and check on Lucy, give her water etc. She said "Wait about 4 or 5 days, then go over and see her. She's got enough food & water in her cage til then."
My car wasn't working right at the time, so I took a cab over there, 5 days just like she said, ran in...... and found lucy stiff as a board.
I put her in a plastic bag and put the bag in the garage near the garbage cans. Didn't know what else to do. Jumped in the cab and went home. When the girlfriend got home she didn't seem too broken up about it at all. Weird.
That's about the extent of my experience with ferrets.
