Also in the wild their range isn't very expansive (2 - 5 acres). They don't move very much in one day so they don't go far fast in normal situations. 2 weeks later, mine was found 150 feet from where he escaped to give you an idea. If they find water and food nearby, they may choose to stay close by for a bit. They do home in their native territory but its hard to say what happens when the conditions change dramatically, like say a mountain side.
