Your never going to get the truth about culling kitt's it a sensitive topic to some and there's other way to control kitt numbers iv'e 12 jill's here i bred two of them one's lost her kitt's and wont be remated this year .The problem stems from folk who dont have access to a snipped hob and breed there jills there no need for that
-
It is possible to ferret all year round if you dont mind being handy with the spade ,but theres other easier methords to control rabbits in the summer
-
Aye me aint he gypsy joe on here ???
-
With my jills i wont bred them unless they have proven themselves over two or three seasons and when i get a kitt i wont do much with it in its first season gentle careful handling and by the second season there of mind and body size to go it alone and i wont have to put another ferret in after them to check if they have missed a rabbit
-
Everybody must have know this topic would cause a heated debate though
-
Its roughly £30 cheaper than the snip here
-
At least the ferret's getting looked at if cash is a problem what about one of the charity ones ??
-
Given the choice i would only take a worker to worker breeding twice last season we had over 7 foot to dig for the ferrets and backed up rabbits ,and i just like to think the ferrets still going to be there with the rabbits when i get there and i reckon worker to worker my best option .
-
Never known one to bolt they just curl up and the ferret goes daft at it ,then you got to dig your ferrets out and check for flea's
-
Any news???? even vets are open on a saturday morning
-
We used to go to the chemist's and get a packet of salt peter pin out your hide and spread it on your pelt ended up as stiff as a board though .
-
Just reading this and hardly anybody is going to admit to culling far less doing it shame really as there is no need to breed a load of kitts in the first place .Just sitting here thinking what this board will look like come august /september every second post will read ferret kitts free to good home ,If the surplus kitts are not going to be culled couldn't these folk use a snipped hob them the rescue centre's wouldn't be overflowing come september
-
Iv'e always said i would cull but never have and last year we had loads of hobs we got them all rehomed maybe because they where funny coloured .But this year iv'e only 4 silvers here 2 hobs and 2 jills and i dont see a problem rehoming that amount . Years ago id problems with 2 litters and the vet put them down at a £1 each that fair totaled up i thought about hitting them over the head but they where 6 weeks old by then
-
Foxes ,cats,rats a chicken ,a little owl had a hedgehog once but it didn't bolt had to dig it out as there was a jill at each side of it going mental
-
Bloody hell he had some gear
-
You sound like a young member and are you trying to get your ferret kitts booked up early ??
-
That does sound ott to me my surplus if i have any will be given away free
-
Once you get the kitts off her she will have the rest of the summer to fatten up
-
That's a nice bag of rabbits they will help feed your litters
-
You can pay a couple of pound up to a fiver but talk colours and your talking crazy money
-
If you hold on there will be loads avilable at the end of the summer
-
If it's just cash get the hob snipped and he will take care of the jill's for you .But if you can afford it get him castrated and get the jill's done as well then you will have nothing to worry about
