Slinky is my first ferret (he is albino), his cage is a large bird’s cage that has had levels added. He is only a
small ferret and the cage doors were quite heavy. To open them you needed to slide them up, he had never tried to open them before so we thought he couldn’t.
Anyway one afternoon I decided to open my bedroom door which led outside, to try and cool the room down while Slinky was sleeping in his closed cage. (This was just before dinner). When I returned to close the door it was already dark outside and I realised that Slinky was gone.
I raced outside and was already crying over my stupid actions. We live just out of town and I thought he would already be gone in the paddocks. However I still ran around the house calling his name. It was pitch black out there and I knew that he might not even respond as I had only had him for a week. However despite this he came running at me out of the dark.
He was just as scared as I was and it was the first time he really gave me a cuddle. Now I know to tie his cage doors closed if he ever has to be in his cage and I don’t use my bedroom door any more as I don’t want to risk losing him again.
