  1. Our numbers are looking fantastic down here in Australia but still a lot of little kits running around hopefully we will be in to it in the next couple of weeks and getting good numbers.
  2. Just make sure that the vet has had plenty experience with ferrets.
  3. Sorry for your loss they are not jut a animal but they do become part of your life.
  4. Your new dog has seem to worked out well.
  5. Love the one with the black tail
  6. Holly molly we definitely don’t see these things in Australia we just build our cagers I will post some photos on what I have built over the years my only question is how often do you clean it out, as I have a area in in all my cagers where I have mesh on the floor and a tray under it to catch all their poop ,
  7. Looks great personally I would put one hole on each level and if you ever wanted to close it of just put a concrete paver over it That’s what I have done to my large cage for when I need to seperate my ferrets.
  8. You may have to google it as that was a screen shot.
  9. Found it , it’s on one of the episodes on the same website
  10. Is their any one out on this forum from New Zealander that has actually seen the problem with the rabbits over there I was put onto this by the rabbit whisperer a while ago and is the problem still ongoing. Interesting watching and I think this is the one where a man shoots a rabbit and the lady doing the interview walks in front of the gun afterwards .
  11. I have put up the odd ferret free to good home as they were definitely no good for hunting but make great pets not once l have had anyone complain about distance and have been more then great full for it. I don’t let just anyone take it I do make sure that they have had experience with ferrets in the past.
  12. Good to see the kits are well handled
  13. I think all pets should be regarded as family not jus an animal that lives in a cage and gets fed and forgotten about or a dog that is kept in a backyard and never walked. If you respect your animals they will respect you. You have the right attitude with your animals and great videos well done.
  14. Your videos are always great once again well done. I have always ran my new ferrets with their mum ten mom Milly who is a great hunter the first season the young ones aren’t to bad but come second season they go very well , I only keep the bucks or as called in other parts of the world Hobbs , and I get them cut to stop the fighting when they are in season but from time to time they seem to still have their off days were they don’t perform as well. Unsure why. One again another great video. Hope to see another one soon.
  15. Never some of my ferrets are handled by my kids and kids in the street and even walked on a lead. But when taken out for the hunt they are a different animal and go for the hunt and do very well.
  16. Down here in Australia we in the summer we hit temperatures of up to 45 degrees and what I have been doing is I run the fine sprinkler heads they use for ferns it’s a very fine mist and doesn’t use a great deal of water I got the idea from sirbless who is on this site. Before that the same as you guys frozen water bottles and a pond of water. The one I have heard of was a esky with o hole in it as a sleeping box with frozen water bottle in it which I think would work well. I have looked at doing timers with electric switches to turn on sprinklers but down here when we have heatwaves the power
  17. I use the fine sprinkler heads that they use on ferns and have a berry fine mist of water. I am not a fan on using anything that is electric if their is a power outage. But in Australia our temperature can reach up to 40 degrees for several days.
  18. Start swapping their bedding around and wait till the kit is older. I have done it a few times and been lucky. They will still fight but not as much. Keep a spray bottle handy with water in it and spray them if one latches onto the other one. Done this a few times it helps and has not effected the ferrets in any way. Good luck with it.
  19. Love seeing great numbers. Well done.
  20. That’s some of our team. I don’t have a lot of photos.
  21. It would be great if some one on my side of the country was looking for some one to go ferreting with I would pick them up in a heartbeat as I am seeing it as a dying art ferreting is just not happening over here.
  22. Sorry for your loss great looking dog not onLy just a hunter but you lost a great mate.
  23. We run a couple of whippets and they well and truely out run the rabbits
