[Rhodes22-list] Attn: Robert - Squirrel Question

[john Belanger]

is it just the presence of the ferret that scares the squirrels away or like a cat, can you just let it (them?) roam the property? or will they want to "escape"? you can get quite a few ferrets for $1500. also do you neuter them? inquiring minds want to know.

Yes. If they want to and if the bricks have 
some texture - or if joints are not struck smooth.
