Re: Urgent: What is narrowest space they can slip thru?

I don't know if they all would hunt mice but I do know, that we have never
had a mouse with having ferrets in the house.  Their scent is supposed to
scare off other rodents.  We were renting a house before we bought our house
now and we couldn't have the ferrets and we had mice, as soon as we brought
them in, they were gone.

Ferrets are great.  You have to ferret proof your house mostly as far as
inconvience but to us it is second nature.  Also it is helpful if all
animals get along...hehe  Ours were all raised together so we don't have any
issues.

I would definitely put her in a 'crate' when you are gone.  As long as the
ferret has water, food, a litter box and a blanket to sleep in, she should
be fine.  And it is true, a bored or idle ferret finds trouble and openings
in a jiffy!!
