unclepesta 100 Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Ferrets in bags/slips are for pro's only lol, Clumsy coffee drinking rabbit diggers are better off sticking to there boxes lol. As for falling on a ferret in a bag i would rather land on my head!I have never harmed a bagged ferret. Boxes are good for transporting to the hunting ground in motorcar or on really long days,but give a bag a go on those nice little outings. Boxes harm ferrets more than bags do and thats a truth i have learnt, How many of you have caught the ferrets foot closing a box? Bagging ferrets is a skill in itself cos they love the game of peek a boo! Boxed ferrets can be noisy and scratch a lot, also big wired vent holes tempt more scratching. Bags are light and ferrets settle down quick and are quiet. ferrets don't tend to shit in bags either. A ferret in a bag is warm for you and itself on those cold winter mornings. Boxes and bags are both useful, I have mentioned the above points just so you don't rule out bags or slips. Bags/slips can be made from old jumper arm sleeves,old pillow cases,cloth bank bags,old handbags,large socks or thick tights ect ect. I only put two ferret's per bag/slip for comfort of the wee beasts. obviously the bag needs to be something breathable! no plastic bags,mmm did i really need to say that? lol. These are just some of my opinions Anyway i'm going to have a midnight coffee now and hope i don't spill it or burn myself drinking it! All the best to you all. 1 Quote Link to post

nothernlite 18,017 Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Pillow case does the trick use to use bank bags years ago before the boxes were out Quote Link to post
nothernlite 18,017 Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Never had a accident with ferrets in a bag the only time I left a ferret behind in a bag was when I found a good patch of magic mushrooms and eat the lot ?? Quote Link to post

Arry 18,497 Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Talking of bags brought a memory back of the first time I was aloud to go with my father and friends. There were three ferrets in different bags all jumping around and would slowly make there way to the hedge even though bagged, i was most concerned and would pick them up take them back out into the field much to the amusement of the old guys. The bags then were canvas like tarpaulin material with a brass eyelet in the side. Every body used them back then by the time I had my own ferret and was old enough to go by myself every body used boxes. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post

And as for a bag not offering protection from the weather ..... the bag is in side your pocket or inside your coat..so if you have a decent coat on your ferret will be as dry and as warm as you are .. as for only using a bag if your broke that’s just bollox lol were talking a nice little mooch about here .. ferret in a bag inside your coat 5 nets in each pocket and a small shovel on a string round your back ....quick little mooch out couple rabbits for the pot job done ....were not talking about climbing Kilimanjaro up death defying rock faces while at battling the harshest of weather whitest drinking coffe/ or whiskey and if you have a ferret in a bag in your pocket and you fall over and don’t manage to put your hands down to stop you face planting the floor then it’s probably time to pack in mush lol Quote Link to post
