    Wonder if shops are not making as much margin out of Wellbeloved? Store I use stopped carrying Wellbeloved but are happy to order 10kg sacks for me.

    Feeding dried food in the summer made life a lot easier ? mine genuinely favour James Wellbeloved over others I've tested although not tried Alpha. The one change I made was moving to additional drinkers, it's extraordinary how much more water they go through compared to when fed raw. In the court I put in a chicken drinker

    Now I know thats not BS for two good reasons ; first because driving off in the car is how I dealt with it. It was that bad. Even then I wasn't going to leave him so didnt go far and the smart arse recognised that and it took separate 3 occasions for the message to sink in. Second is that one of 2 other first cross collie greyhounds Ive had over the years would drop her ball in ditches if she got bored, although that was her only vice. Both of those other 2 were in general a delight to own, they were bitches mind you. Still I shouldnt bad mouth him too much as he does the job

    Must be bloody frustrating. Its happened to me recently with our 12 month old collie x dog variously refusing to return to the car when ferreting finished for the day, doing a runner when loading the car for ferreting and refusing to come back on other occasions . Two months of real frustration, he was great as a pup. I went right back to basics using high value treats like liver, calling in from short distance etc. Now at 18 months he's great but he really tested me. Good luck

    Absolutely agree with Hullman and Balaur, She may still stalk in daylight but expect her to "get" lamping if you use the lead to walkup squatters, I have an 18 month Collie Greyhound with same traits as yours, great ferreting but needed a very disciplined approach to lamping. BTW he still stalks in daylight

    Hi to all, I read that ferrets were one of the animal models being used to look at the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, it surprised me as, although I know they are a key lab animal in flu vaccines, I remember reading that they are not susceptible. Not much literature out there but one research article looking at all lab animals "found that SARS-CoV-2 replicates poorly in dogs, pigs, chickens, and ducks, but ferrets and cats are permissive to infection. We found experimentally that cats are susceptible to airborne infection." However, its not bad news for us owners and our ferrets, I

    Its a good question. In my experience you have a few weeks. I have always left them 2 or 3 weeks from first spotting them coming in season with no problem. However, I once left a jill in season for too long, probably between 4 to 6 weeks and even with a jill jab that took her out of season, the hormones had started serious biochemical changes and she developed anemia that was irreversible. Horrible mistake to make
