Urgent just found a starving ferret in the Garden

I am in Surrey I have just tried to phone furry friends in Surrey to see if they will have it but couldn't get though. It is very tame but scared

I have never handled one of these before. I am in South Croydon.

Re: Urgent just found a starving ferret in the Garden

I meant to add, a lot of people have their ferrets chipped so it wouldnt be a bad idea to get it to the vets to scan and see if its chipped.

Re: Urgent just found a starving ferret in the Garden

Put him/ her in a cat carrier or a box with some towels, a bowl of water and something to eat. They can have cat food or raw meat depending on what you've got available.

You could try phoning around the local vets to see if any one has lost a ferret. I also agree with thedogsmother about seeing if he's chipped.

thanks everyone
My Husband just phoned our Vet and is on his way now to see if it has been chipped, depending on the results we will contact Leatherhead.
It's snuggled up in a towel now.

It was by the stables in the Garden where we have a small Guinea pig rescue. At present there is 13 so I am sure it could smell them.... Also when I caught it I gave it some cat food and water and it didn't come up for air
