My ferret is stuck in my wall! She hasn't made a noise in 20 minutes. I am crying and so upset. What can I do?

Question

I usually let my ferret out to play with my two kittens. I ferret proofed my house and she seemed to have clawed her way into one of the holes I covered up. And it's inside the wall under the bathtub. and who knows where else. I heard her in the downstairs bathroom hissing and scratching trying to get out. And now she hasn't made any noise what so ever!
What do I do in this situation, please help me?
I can't begin to tell you my emotions let alone how horrified I am to see the conclusion of this whole thing.
It's so horrible to think that she was fine running around and she's gone now. How does this happen?
What do I do :(?

My ferret got stuck in a wall once too. She did the same thing yours did. Hissed and scratched and went nuts trying to get out, but then she just went limp and didn't make a noise for like two hours. 
Yours is probably doing the same thing myn was: resting. She's exhausted all her energy into trying to get out, that she's pooped.
If I were you, no matter how your parents might feel or whatever, just use a hammer and start hitting the wall where you last heard her. Trust me, whoever you report to later will be less angry about a few holes in the wall than they would about a dead ferret in the wall starved to death. 
If you can, try and lure her somewhere so that you know exactly where she is and then make a hole close to where she is and get her out. DON'T PULL HER BY THE TAIL. You can break their ribs that way.
Well IM me and let me know how she is. Hope all is well and good luck hon.

The fire department won't do this kind of thing, and no they don't rescue cats out of trees, that's for Animal Control or the feline rescues.

You may need to phone a home contractor if holes need to be cut.  But call animal control first, or even go online and search for a ferret rescue group online you can either phone or email--they may have suggestions for enticing the ferret out.

Have you tried squeeking a squeek toy at the hole?

If you can locate the ferret, try to draw it out with food. If you can't reach it, try leaving some food near the hole they entered. You may have to face the fact that the ferret has gotten out of the house. They can fit through holes the size of a quarter.

That's so sad. But she might be okay, she's just tired from trying to get out. I think you should check to see if she got out some other way. And if you live in a small town call the fire department, not the emergency number but another number. They still rescue cats out of trees don't they?

Chances are that she might have moved to somewhere else. What everyone else said are good suggestions.
