    The mystery of a stray ferret spotted prowling around Harrogate has been solved - Dynamite returned home after his night time adventure

    A real-life stray ferret spotted last Saturday has returned home safely to its rightful owners.

    Owner Jess Silver and Jordan Croxford noticed their ferret, Dynamite, was missing from his cage in the early hours of Saturday morning and suspected he had been stolen.

    But Dynamite was spotted by Evelyn Rose on Saturday, May 30 on Skipton Street at 10.15pm. Evelyn then got in contact with us at The Stray Ferret in a bid to unite the animal with its owners.

    However, much to the Croxford's surprise and relief, Dynamite returned back home safely on Sunday morning.



    Owners Jess and Jordan told The Stray Ferret:

    "We left the cage door open and on Sunday morning we thought we'd check to see if he had come back and he was fast asleep in his bed."


    The owners suspect Dynamite was stolen from his cage in their garden in the early hours of Saturday morning and was most likely set free when he revealed his sharp teeth.

    Jess Silver said:

    "In a year he's never escaped so there's no way possible he has just gone out. We couldn't believe it when we saw where he'd been!"




    Dynamite was rescued from his previous owner who no longer wanted him just under a year ago. Along with Dynamite, Jess and Jordan also have a second ferret named Jill who has recently had a litter of Kits.

    The owners of the ferret are both very pleased to have Dynamite home safely!
