Ferret lost in the Vents!!!!

It was the first ferret i have ever owned, never read up on them. I was allowing her to run around the house and about 30 mins went by and i hadn't seen or heard her. I instantly jumped up and started looking for her. I couldn'd find her anywhere, until...I was leaning behind the tv looking for her and heard a noise in the vent.

I started to check all vents to see if that could possibly be her but didn't find anywhere she could have got in. I kept hearing a tearing noise so I knew it had to be her trying to find a way out. I went to the crawl space and she was at the door waiting for me. She had somehow got in the vent, tore through our duct work and got under the house.
