  3. So nice when you get open field burrows after weeks of blackthorn hedges. so well done mate six out of one burrow is good going mate. Maybe try a collar with a bell, we use a 12mm bell my mate can hear them from a long way away ( I saw 12mm bells on a cat collar for about £3 in Morrison's). Unfortunately I can't hear them as somebody fired a 12 bore next to my ear one night lamping some 40 years ago and I've and ringing in my ears ever since. Cheers Arry

  5. Chaff a couple of useful sites. http://ferretinfo.co.uk/#/feeding-ferrets/4541939155 http://www.ferret-universe.com/health/other.asp I don't mean to be patronising in any way, thought it might be helpful. Cheers Arry

  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. wish I had the room for that mate, nice one. 1"x 1" weld mesh 16g should be fine if its galvanised. Cheers Arry
  17. My jack russell used to do the same. Cheers Arry
  18. Nice little chap Doug.Nice pics mate. Cheers Arry
  19. Did you use the pheasant again or was it a nets this time. Lol sorry could not help it. Cheers Arry
  20. Like the positive thinking mate. Cheers Arry
  21. 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
  22. 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
  23. 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
  24. 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
