  1. I hope your a kid or having a laugh you want to try working a really big place or a really deep place where you need your ferret to go deep to find and work to push out rabbits only a true working ferret will do this and to get that you breed worker to worker .Try getting PAIDED for ferreting and see what ferrets you want to WORK
  2. Probably yes her hormones will be telling her too
  3. Just looking a the d ring youv'e got 12 meshes on it i'd like to try a bigger one i just like my nets 20 meshes wide till i get to the length i require
  4. Did you have any food in the run maybe showing a intrest in that ,though years ago they used to decoy crows using a tethered ferret
  5. I just freeze plastic two litre juice bottles 3/4 full of water two in each sleeping compartment and spares in the freezer for the next day ,and never have had a problem .But if it does get warmer in the years ahead where going to have to look at keeping the ferrets in shaded areas
  6. You just got to accept she will know best
  7. This is primarly a HUNTING FORUM its not a small section on a general ferret forum for working ferrets Wish it was PRIMARLY A HUNTING FORM but it seems the lunatics have taken over the asylum
  8. Dont touch them with a BARGE POLE if your looking for a working ferret go to someone who works them and breed's worker to worker .
  9. Ask me in about a month and i will tell you .at present ive two silver jills with litters to a BEW hob and alls fine
  10. pluck it out? as a pose to seeing a good vet WHY WOULD YOU GO TO A VET WHEN YOUR FERRETS HAVING A SUMMER MOULT ???????
  11. Put a couple of STERLINGFLY BAG'S round your ferret hutch they will help with the flies coming to lay eggs
  12. I'd wait till next winter pick a frosty morning start early and get stuck in ,if your worried about your ferret getting stuck take a catch alive trap with you and fill in all the hole apart from the one you put the trap in .Fenn mk6's would cure some of those rabbits just now though
  13. The one

    Lost

    i watch it but aperntly they have commissioned 8 series so you wont find anything out for a while yet
  14. i would just feed her the same amount as your feeding her just now the kitts wont be eating any of it and it will just go off ,wait till there two /three weeks old and start adding a bit extra but make sure the jill has plenty fresh water for all the milk she has to produce
  15. I use a twelve bore handy but you have to let the rabbits get out a bit the 410's fine but carts are a bit expensive
  16. Pluck it out just like you would strip a dog the ferret will be cooler now the days are warming up and i reckon it makes them itchy
  17. Should have given you a phone last night loads of rabbits and the shooting was crap Anyway you know your not going to wrap up and post them horns ,And ive a nice crisp £5 sitting here the kind the corner bounce's back when your counting them just the way you like them mate ,You know the number
  18. What a cracking setup youv'e got mate ,Wasn't it Fred J Taylor that ran all his ferrets in a court all year and never had any bother when the jill's gave birth ? .You can only try it but your courts a good size i'd be surprised if you have any bother as they look like the jill's could stay out of each other road if they wanted to
  19. Okay a five spot and a rubber finger stool for your finger for when your sitting counting your cash
  20. £5 and i can pick up
  21. White shavings all over the hutches no dust in them to bother the ferrets and theres a nice pine smell
  22. You always find things like ferrets can produce there young easily and no bother so when somthing happens it's serious and you have to put your hand in your pocket and get to the vet
  23. What age is your jill if she's getting on in years she wont have so many young ,pick her up and see if you think theres more in there or if the jills not right its a VET JOB
  24. i leave them well alone with the older jills you could probably get in and play with them but you never know how a young jill will react . Leave them till there tumbling out the nest box and have a wee look at them give them a once over and maybe clip there claws .Iv'e seen folk saying 8 kitts born yesterday looking for good homes i never look for homes till there six weeks old anything could happen to them
  25. Had them out a burrow a week after we ferreted it ,i reckon rabbits from poorer area's or lower ranking bun's are moving about and colonise empty burrows . Ive a wee field of set a side between three farm's and i can ferret up there every week and get rabbits till ive ferreted all the surrounding land. On the other hand if were doing a farm and dont get finished when we start again we will drop back a bit to see if the burrow's are inhabbited
