I'm so glad that there are people out there that understand. My brother told my mom that I had too many "varmites"anyway.

Twisterdog, that is EXACTLY how I feel! I was supposed to keep Xaiver safe and I failed. It's the worst feeling in the world. I haven't let the other three ferrets out of their cage since it happened (except to snuggle) because I'm scared to death it will happen again. My husband is fixing up a gate so that they cannot get out of our living room and therefore not get anywhere near the front door. Only then will they let out to play again.
