Welsh_red 4,305 Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) Got my first kits tonight . Already own a large hob that I had when he was a year or so old so it's great having young ones . The guy I got them from was a class act aswell. He spoke with a infectious appetite for ferrets and ferreting that was humbling and gave me some good advice for when I finally get out ferreting myself . From what I gather the man is a full time ferreter and had a haul of rabbits in the last year that blew my mind . He asked of possible in the future could he come see the ferrets work which I thought was great the fact he was interested in the ferrets after they left his care . Don't know if he's on here or if anybody knows him and to my shame I didn't even ask his name . When I got there he was like a whirlwind of energy and I kind of got caught up in his enthusiasm and forgot to ask his name . He's from tregaron in Wales and told me he's ferreted Bristol airport before . His Mrs recently won a big carp fishing competition aswell. If anybody knows him send him my largest regards . I was the guy who's daughter fell in love with his cat on his lawn Edited June 27, 2017 by Welsh_red 4 Quote Link to post

Welsh_red 4,305 Posted June 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) Just a quick question . Both kits when I got them were lively . Now I've got them back , 1 is As i hoped , inquisitive , lively , doesn't mind being picked up and held . The other is a lot more reserved and scared(I think) . Squirms constantly wjen I pick her up and when it goes in its pipe it constantly hovers in the opening and stays away . Every night so far I've had them both out in a shed for hour and half all together .the lively one comes over and doesn't give a shit . The other plays with its sister and is active but doesn't like it if I get up or move etc . Kind of skulks away . I know it's very early stage and in giving the quiet one a bit more attention to try and calm it down I just wanted reassurance and a little push in the right direction as to what you lot do with a quiet kit Edited June 30, 2017 by Welsh_red Quote Link to post
The one 8,396 Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Work more on the quiet one handling , feeding from your hand the more time spent now will help in the long run 2 Quote Link to post
Adampie8432 801 Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Sorry to hijack the thread but my jill is due to have kits this weekend and I've just done a new hutch. Will it be ok to swap her over or Not? Last thing I want is for her to kill the kits. Cheers atb Adam Quote Link to post
