Do ferret owners typically let them wander around 24/7 like cats? Seems like they would just get lost in weird places

It's a challenge and their purpose in life seems to be finding weird places. You have to "ferret-proof" everywhere they can (in)conceivably get to using your imagination and experience. Their tenacity and naive bravery make it difficult.

Also, what if someone enters your place when the ferrets are out, like a landlord, family member or emergency personnel? You could be involved in an accident or have a leak. Also, they could become trapped w/out food or water.

Mine have free roam unless I'm away more than 500 miles or longer than 48 hours.

Sounds like an interesting pet to have wandering around. I've only been around ferrets twice, they seemed pretty devious and fun
