    Get her to the vet mate, maybe if she was ill could be why she was crapping in her nest box. Good luck with her. Milk is not much good for them mate try an egg. Cheers Arry

    Like the idea of the seed tray compost bog must make life easier when cleaning out. Also save a bit on bedding might give that go Cheers Chaff One thing you have to keep an eye using this method is corrosion of the weld mesh as their crap and piss seems to be acid and eats the metal away, it will need replacing after two or three years. Stainless steel would be better, but the bottom of a supper market trolly would last years. They just seem to know to crap on the mesh, apart from the odd hiccough as explained earlier. The strip of mesh is about 9" wide and runs front to back at one end

    I have a strip of 1"x 1" weld mesh a one end of my hutch and they crap on that 90% goes straight through into a seed tray filled with saw dust peat sand any thing thats at hand. Well few weeks back I was cutting logs with a chain saw and used the saw dust chipping to fill the seed tray, never twigged at first but one of the ferrets started to crap up the other end of the hutch. I cleaned with bleach even the wife's smelly hand wash to no avail. Then I wondered if it was the smell of the chain saw dust. So changed the saw dust in the seed tray with peat and put a handful of the saw dust where t

    Young in some yesterday and a shallow dig to reveal young. Lets hope the hard frosts set them back, but we only seem to get a couple then goes mild for a week. Yesterday could not get in the car -5 locks frozen etc then by midday stripping off my shirt and sweating my nuts off. Cheers Arry

    Sounds like they got a nice home now mate with somebody who is going to look after them. I've used Spot On for ear mites before seems to work okay. Good luck and happy hunting for the new year. Cheers Arry

    wish I had the room for that mate, nice one. 1"x 1" weld mesh 16g should be fine if its galvanised. Cheers Arry

    Not the same, but these thing are built of thin ply or boards that why I put in a slide in a nest box built from 1/2" ply. Cheers Arry

    I was aways told you can get ticks in hay. And wheat star is better but I find that very hard to get hold of I've use star all my life and never had a problem, but I do use Frontline ever three months. But even before Frontline never had a problem. Cheers Arry

    I use one of those as I don't have much room, I swopped the doors over so you have two doors at the top and two mesh doors at the bottom. Then built a nest box 18"x 20" and front to back aprox that I can pull in and out of the top section this also makes it easy to clean out. It just fits inside the door and about one inch short of the top. Fill that with clean barley straw and they will be fine. I have a separate run with pipes etc that they have a run around for a few hours. Hope this of some help. Cheers Arry

    We have always had the odd one or two right through winter but I was surprised to find seven out of seven. Trouble is we get one or two frost then it goes mild again. After tilling a hedge the other day had to take my jacket off down to a T'shirt then the trouble is you get carved up diving in the hedge to get a rabbit. Cheers Arry

    Think your on the right line with that. I feed strips of meat about the size of earth worms by hand always seem to work for me, after a while they seem to take great care not to bit you. Cheers Arry
