A FERRET found foraging in a Minehead garden on Saturday afternoon has been reunited with its owner – thanks to the County Gazette.
The young male was discovered in a backyard in The Parks area of the seaside town.
The homeowner managed to catch him in a cat basket and called Tropiquaria Zoo, near Watchet, which took him in.
And after an appeal on this website, his owners got in touch with the zoo and were reunited with their beloved pet.
In the past month Tropiquaria has housed a number of exotic animals found wandering locally, including a king snake and a bearded dragon.
The zoo is currently open daily from 10.30am-5pm. Call 01984-640688 for more information.
