  1. my two jill ferrets have been in season since paddy's day (march 17th) so i borrowed my friends hob for the week. I let him have a go with one jill at a time and gave him a day's rest between each one. They seemed to do the business but i thought after they bred the swelling of there vulva is supposed to go down(correct me if i'm wrong) but if anything the swelling has peaked. is this normal or is there something i'm missing? thanks richard

  9. Hi all, on tuesday i was cleaning out my ferrets hutch.. I put them in a little pen on the lawn. I thought all my dogs were fine with ferrets as they had grown up with them all there life. Halfway through cleaning out the hutch i heard squealing i ran out to the lawn and i saw my spaniel had my hob ferret by the neck. Within five minutes he was dead.. I am gutted.. My jill had used all her "scent" and she seemed to be very shaken up but apart from that she seemed to be unharmed.I put her back into her hutch... She went straight into her sleeping area and i let her sleep for the rest of the da
  10. Thanks all for the comments!! yes I have a jill but when she has kits i am planning to keep a few for those extra burys.
  11. Hi all, does anyone know does anyone know when ferrets come into heat and for how long and is there any visible signs?? thanks a lot. Richard
  12. Yes, when I go out Its usually just me so there's no talking. I don't smoke or stamp around so i just dont know what the problem is.
  13. Hi all, On an average day when I go out I Might catch 3 or 4 rabbits. This is not alot I know but my hob always kills and lies up under ground. This slows down the day alot and I am sure I could catch more if only the rabbits bolted. I feed my ferrets well before I bring them out so i was wondering does anyone have any tips or is there nothing I can do?? thanks, Richard
  14. Well done mate! I think today is the first day since god knows how long that it's been dry over here in Ireland!
  15. Nice big healthy ferrets!
  16. Is there any advantages to the sliders over the rings??

    Help

    Hi all, I've recently bought a 50 yard longnet and I'm getting on reasonably well with it but I have one problem... When i take it up after a days work I put it in my bag, then the next day I go out it always manages to get into tangles so every time I set the net up to 15 minutes could be wasted just trying to get the tangles out!.... Any ideas? Help would greatly be appreciated! Thanks Richard
  18. The rabbit bolts into the net and it closes around the rabbit itself like a bag.. should keep the rabbit there until you take it out.
  19. I was out yesterday with gale force winds... not one bolted!! All kills under the ground..My ferrets are usually good for making them bolt. couldn't figure out why there were no bolters until i read this!!
  20. I dont think frost is a factor as to whether rabbits bolt well or not,wind is, frost aint. Wind??
