yes i know good name in it i have had to split my hob from my jill since december,i felt so guilty doing it, i put a few toys & a nice wooly jumper that had shrunk in the wash, he sleeps in that now in the middle of the hutch, he doesnt even use the nest box i made for him, hoping to put him back with the girls next weekend, now that the implant has kicked in he should be coming out of season, i miss all the dooking from them all playing, you can also like another poster said bring him inside for a few hours it helps releive some stress & it is amusing to say the least,

hi Rob mate this is what she will look like when in season , the vets a sheriffe hill , do jill jabs or FERRET PORN!!!! LOL :clapper: can you imagine the neighbours phoning the police saying there is a man next door taking pictures of ferrets pee thing lol, you can also get her "Implanted ", this is a new ish procedure which is similar to having a microchip put in, i have just had my Hob & Jill implanted about a week ago, costs £37 approx lasts 18 months , Jill jab is £12, having her neutered will cost a similar price, both have pros & cons, at t

you can try the ferretone route,or just use a bit of olive oil then every day when you go to the hutches to see them have the bottle of ferretone ready ,open the cage & put some on the back of your hand & let them all lick it off, when they are interested in the ferretone ( 10 seconds & they will be hooked) pick the ferret up which is nipping ( put others back in cage !! )& pour some ferretone on your hand again, i usually sit down & free the other hand up & stroke the ferret, if it tries to nip you try not to put the ferret down , as this will only enforce the fa

there is a guy on the other forum called shaun ( the one where you ask questions & they make you feel so small for asking ) who breeds these micro/greyhound ferrets he has had orders for the last 3 years & getting £25 each, falconers prefer the smaller type, apparently they are lightning fast will work all day

Morning people, just to update on these implants, yesterday after 2 weeks of debating what to do, i took my Hob & Jill to the vets to get their bits done, well me being a chicken i didnt get then snipped as planned , so i went for implants, the charge for 2 was £37 each which should last 18 months, so i am told, i will be keeping a diary of the 2 i have implanted just to let people know the changes that they go through & how long they will last, it took the vet about 15 mins & i was on my way home ferrets awake none the wiser, the needle is bigger than the microchip one & has l

They relied on a very flickery Led display and some funny noises to gauge the depth . As far as functionability went they were worse than some of the early attempts to build locators in the sixties and early seventies . Deben had to return to MK1 technology and reinstate the sensitivity knob to create the Mk3 before too many folk started complaining . & apparently they ate batteries like they was going out of fashion
