  1. Been wanting to go and have a look a some Pillow Mound on Dartmoor. So walked up to the Avon Dam then on for a mile or two and there they were at least twenty of them and loads more all over the hill. Them old Warrener's did some graft about 6' high with a ditch all the way round ranging from 20' long to 50' long then drainage trenches that zig zag down the hill. There must have been thousands of rabbits on this hill at one time but now could not see any sign at all,I would love to ferret one of these that was active. Cheers Arry
  2. Never even painted my old box, But the hutch is done in Sadolin. Swear by it myself. Cheers Arry
  3. Amazing that mate can even see ripples on their back. Cheers Arry
  4. More of the Woodpecker feeding its young in The forest of Dean. Cheers Arry
  5. The JR jumping through the gate in the snow post on "show us your white dogs". Snowy very stocky JR I bought from a farmer on Dartmoor, I was gob smacked the other day when I found the old photo and looked on the back to see 1982 written on it. If you told him off he would wimpier in the corner of the room not even touched him, Take him out he would hulk out and take on the world. Gentle with the kids and ferrets etc. Often think of him, lives on in my memory Cheers Arry
  6. Good little haul the other day. Cheers Arry
  7. Sharp that mate don't now how to do click on image to make it larger, Well smart that. Thanks Cheers Arry Just clicked on my own pics didn't know you could do that. Still a novice at this.
  8. Taken back in May so it might be a moult, we don't get many with mange as this is hunting ground and they take out most of the rough ones. I was in a green lane when I spotted a fox being chased by sheep, watched for a wile as it started to walk off thought I try calling it, came like a dream. Took a lot more shots but auto focus picked up on nettles and grass, ended up about six foot away the other side of the hedge. Cheers Arry
  9. Out with the camera thought I would see if I could still squeak one I spotted. Cheers Arry
  10. Yes mate it could fleas or mites. Have a look at this site. https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/ferrets-skin-disease I use some thing called "Ferretone" for their skin and coat especially when their changing coats about now. Cheers Arry
  11. Found this photo from 1982 would you believe, not the best as it had to be scanned only seems like yesterday. Cheers Arry
  12. Well done Doug, Wound me right up for the coming season, can't wait to have a go. Always green with envy seeing them lovely clean open burrows. What a bit of country side. atb Cheers Arry
  13. Hate the things but as said there somebody's pet. So I use a paint ball blow pipe which i've got quite good at over the years, unfortunately the balls don't break if you hit them. So have aim a bit short then they burst and get sprayed, rarely come except one. I bought some 6" long screws with an eye on the end from farmer store put one on each fence post a 2" piece of bamboo on the shank. Then ran some thin wire through the eyes then came back with another strand took a turn round the shank just above the bamboo witch stopped it from dropping, this has worked really well so far. Cheers A
  14. All working now mate, love watching the kits giving each other hell, nice set up. Got two kits about the same size I could watch them for hours, I have a run on the lawn with pipes boxes hammock etc and they bomb around like a couple of squirrels on speed. Cheers Arry
  15. Don't work for me it says "this video is private" Cheers Arry
  16. only my opinion but may be make up some small collars and keep taking for a walks on a lead in wide open spaces(middle of a field etc) , nowhere to hide. Worth a try. Cheers Arry
  17. Give some treats by hand and loads of handling, don't worry it won't run off. Cheers Arry
  18. You can not buy those experiences, he will remember that trip for the rest of his life and the bonding is great. Brought back loads of memories for me, taking my lads floundering mid winter and cooking sausages on hazel sticks. Thanks for jogging the old memory. Brillant that, atb Cheers Arry
  19. I have a separate run on the lawn they spend a lot of time in and put some blank collars on the kits so they get used to them. As the other guys said the more handing the better especially early on, I don't believe you can handle them to much. Also keep mine locked up. Cheers Arry
  20. Love them sort to start the season plus good to train up kits. atb Cheers Arry
  21. Have you got a mark with deep gully's full of kelp? Rougher the ground the better. Cheers Arry
  22. Love that little dog, he's the kind that can turn his paw too anything. I wish i owned something similar atb. I second that mate, I really love him. Cheers Arry
