    Can you repair collars as well mate?,think you'll have plenty of work coming your way mate and best of luck.
  3. fireman
    Yes but careful where you get them if wild ones as secondry poisoning could happen if getting them from a farm,etc that has poison down.I feed my ferrets the rats my terriers kill,although i won't feed them old scabby ones just clean looking ones and i've fed them rats since they were young and never had a problem.Shop bought ones will end up costing you quite a bit in the long run,either hunt them or breed them yourselves.

    I have a hand reared jill in my court who was reared from 2 days old and she works ok,not a blinder but one you can put your hand into a dark tunnel and know she will never get hold of it.She can suffer from a cold now and again maybe due to her not having the imunities from her mother but gets on in every other way the same as my others.One thing she is the most active ferret in my court and is not impressed about being kept away from the hobs although she has only once come into season in her 3 years and didn't take then either.

    The synulux doesn't taste of anything(tasted it) and crumbles well in a bit of milk,he's been drinking it no problem.It is getting slightly smaller and softer so hopefully it's on the mend.He's called "John" Stubby, after the pirate but he isn't long or silver! and i'm joking with a chap called Stubby about stumpy limbs ,grand site this when you need a bit of help with things.

    Thanks for the help,gave him synulux in some warm milk and he drank it no probs,the lump is softening at the edges but is hot to touch but is not painful to him as in as much as i can tell.He doesn't pull away when i feel it,he does have a little wound on his neck from another hob but it didn't look at all like it would of caused trouble.Again thanks.

    An old thread i know but i have found the same on a little 3 legged hob i have,a large swelling under his chin.It is not affecting his breathing or feeding and is still quite hard,what antibiotics are used while waiting for it to soften and can i use dog antibiotics in smaller doses?,don't slate me on this i want the best but can't afford being ripped by the vets.If i can use dog antibiotics which one would be best?,would Rimadyl help as it's a anti inflamitry as well so could help with the swelling or would say synulux or clavet with amoxicillin in it be better?.This lttle bugger hasn't had t

    I feed mine on rats i've caught with my terriers,i don't feed any scabby old manky ones to them just clean looking ones.I freeze them and the ferrets seem to do well on them,fed mine yesterday and gave them a few rats and a young rabbit and most of the ferrets went for the rats.Not had any problems with feeding rats ever.

    Looks like the pellets they feed pigs with,well done for getting your trap back but take heed from your run in mate.

    Didn't notice the date or todays date(i missed it ) but now know about the fair going on see folks then.
  11. fireman
    The bottom ones with the ferrets are mine,they are scattered in the other pics and the lurchers and other plummers are one mates, the russel and black/tan terrier anothers.They all give us some good sport.

    Got to go to a farm over the winter who had a few rats around the place,we were mostly going at night and when we arrived at the farm it was go from the start.We would park then hold the dogs walk into the yard on with the lights and away we went,there is a pile of carrots and parsnips which the farmer feeds his livestock which we usally get a few off.We then hunt out the sheds and although we don't get big numbers every night we were hunting this farm 3-4 nights a week,we have had a couple of days there smoking and digging but the best bit of all was at night out on a field where he was putt

    Should add that i've just got back from a grand mooch out with the dogs having a few grand hunts on the humble bunny,but should i keep them at home and not get out as i have no earths on my permission?.
  17. fireman
    My dogs Artic have no probs with having short coats,i check them over after working them as i would do even if they had long coats and any thorns are found easily.Have hunted them in tips,thorns and around tin sheets and never had problems due to coats being short,as a allrounder the plummer is surely one of the best.

    Not so much a story,a few hours ratting whilst threshing was going on.A couple of weeks ago we went to a farm where things are done a bit old school to finish of a stack that we started a month ago when the tractor driving the thresher gave up the go,we arrived at the farm to see the chaps had already started threshing so we got to rebuilding the bale wall we put up to slow the bolting rats.As the pile was getting smaller we and the dogs were waiting for the action to start,we waited and waited and we were starting to think that the rats had moved on,we were wrong and as the stack reached the

    I myself have a couple of plummers which i use as much as i can,i havn't any digging permision or should i say no earths on my permision so i get what sport i can out of my dogs.Most of these dogs have great noses on them equal to any terrier and as good as anybreed in cases,so are ideal as a bushing dog and are a trainable terrier as well.These dogs on the whole work well together and i have had great sport out of mine this season,i go out with a few different lads with these dogs and we have good sport even though some of them arn't worked regulaly together.I use mine with my ferrets,for rat

    Ment to add ignore the camera date,it all happened today.

    Went out to a farm where things are done the old way,we were there for the ratting which gets really going when the stack gets to the end.We had 4 plummers with us and the old farm dogs a 5 stone felly type thing and a old lab sort of thing,we ended up with just over a hundred rats and we were finished by dinner time.We were at this farm a month ago but the tractor that was running the thresher broke down,we had 28 rats that time and a couple of the chaps that were there last time came this time just to see the dogs work. Most of the rats were caught when the bails the stack was sta

    I kept wondering where all the acorns were coming from that i kept finding in the hutches that i had my ferrets in last year,thought the kids were playing tricks on me just didn't think about the pigeons i was feeding them.
  25. fireman
    Looking good mate,may i add that it may be worth getting it waterproofed on the floors inside as once your ferrets soil the floor that wood takes an age to get dry again,or to use a litter tray.Just trying to help mate and again grand job with the hutch.
