  7. havent seen any worms in litter, but not to say there arent. Ill check again.
  8. One of my male ferretts, 4 years old, is looking decidely jaded. His coat is poor and feels very boney when I pick him up. His stomach looks big/bloated. He eats his fair share along side his hutch mate who looks in good nick. I have been feeding them mainly on ferrett nuggets through the summer with the odd pigeon, rabbit, squirrel and pheasant when I have them. I would appreciate some positive feed back on what may be wrong and what I can do to sort him. Before any one says take him to the vets that would be my last resort as I have very little faith in domestic city vets. Regar
  9. that doesnt looka particularly high protein content , but what you havent quoted is the preservatives that are in the food, which in my opinion counts for a lot. I agree with the raw food diet (barf), and can only tell of a woman I know that approached me about her springer that was 4 years old and still bouncing of the walls as she put it despite being put on a special diet by her vet. . . . James wellbeloved dry food, I told her of the raw food diet and despite her shock and horror, she decided to give it a go. 4 weks later she rang me to say she was concerned , in that when she came

  13. Im toying with getting a whippet and the type you have mentioned takes my interest. If you dont mind I'll message you to get some more info rather than bother this lot on here
  14. to be honest how many working lurchers are there out there that really make the grade. I would at a guess say 99% of lurchers are a pet 1st and working cur as a side piece. therefore silly post.
  15. bitter apple I think its called. Suirprised the vet hgasnt suggested it/supplied it.
  16. where was she found, or was it brought back, give us an update. . . .
  17. seen a dog that was broke to ferrets pick one up completely out of the blue on first day of the season a couple of years back. dog got a bollocking and a shake of the collar. dog went on lead for next 1/2 hour and every time the ferrets showed "NO" was growled at the dog. dog was let off lead and closely watched for rest of day and never showed any sign of interest to ferrets. my thoughts on this situation was that the potential problem was nipped in the bud and dealt with there and then.
  18. also in Hants, so will keep eyes peeled. Thats a good photo so dog is unmistakeable. good luck
  19. whistle works well also. Head down hole blow hard and out they come. Ferret has bell on and can be easily heard when appearing from hole out of sight. Tis is known as Bells and Whistle Bolting. Try it , it works.
