The RSPCA in the West Midlands is urging ferret owners to get their
pets microchipped after finding an increased number of straying ferrets
are being picked up throughout the region.
In the past week Animal Collection Officer (ACO) Suzie Smith has had
five separate calls about ferrets on the loose.
“In the eight years I have worked for the RSPCA I have only ever
picked up one microchipped ferret,” she said.
“Ferrets are renowned for being energetic, curious with a love
of playing hide and seek so anyone who owns a ferret should ensure their
pet is chipped for piece of mind.
“We have a real problem with straying ferrets at the moment which
could be partly to do with the breeding season. "We are receiving calls about straying ferrets every week and when
they are not chipped we have no way of reunited missing pet and owner." |
