One day Misfit got out and let my other ferret Hunter out after three hours of looking I went to get something out of my desk and found two sleeping ferrets, a hacky sack, my keys to the livestock pens, two stuffed animals, a dish towel, a couple crackers, and a banana (don't know, don't ask) they had torn the back paneling off half my desk. Hunter was fixed but because of his age the vet said he couldn't desent him (fun) he went through this faze for about 4 months where he would spray in his sleep, bad dreams were my guess. Hunter was a bobtailed panda (he had a blue/sliver head and butt and a white middle and a stump for a tail), and yes he was born like that. Hunter got his name because he spent half his free time running in circles looking for his tail. Misfit was a sliver and he got his name because he spent 2 yrs in a pet store when ever some bought him they brought him right back, said he liked to bite (it didn't bother me because my job at the time was taming baby ferrets) no one wanted him so Misfit it was. I had my ferrets for close to three years and had to find them and two 6' iguanas homes when I got kicked out the day I turned 18; even though it was only for three days my car was tooooo small for me, 2 ferrets, 2 lizards, and a pit. I still have the dog. Sorry for the long post but I was reminising. To further answer your questions ferrets are kinda like todlers they will make anything a toy, and never think that it can't get in there, or it woun't steal or play with that; I'm telling now they will.
