This is the new ferret court that me and my dad have made over the weekend. and these are my ferrets which i've had for about a week now (the scabs on the neck was where they where fighting with other ferrets at the old owners place.)

You just done my college work for me :-) We have to research lagomorphe behaviour for animal science, so I will be using some of that in my final essay. Intresting read though. JoeD

Talk of the devil I left "my favourite one" to roam with the others and it went straight under the shed and was after the mice I think lol. So anyway I think all will be good workers but only one way to make sure. JoeD

Yes they are housed together and are as good as gold, they play fight but nothing that needs breaking up and I think richie said they where brothers but I'll double check. Oh and Steve I already have a favourite when I let them run free in the garden one stays near me and wants all the attention while the others just roam and destroy the garden. JoeD

I am thinking of getting 2 of my 3 hobs vasectomised, will they still be fine together after or will they fight? I am only wanting 2 done because just incase I choose to breed them next year which is a high possibility then I will have a whole hob and I will get a jill nearer the time. JoeD

I did say this to my dad but he wants to build a whole new court for them, which will have much more space than the run. And thanks for replies guys. JoeD

Where abouts can I buy some strong mesh for my ferret court that I am making as I only have a hutch and a seperate run which means that the ferrets cant have both hutch and run at the same time. I ask because people say that chicken wire and that sort of stuff is to thin and ferrets bite through it. Any help would be great thanks JoeD

Will be getting the locator and collars soon, when I have enough money in the ferret gear money box, because at the moment the ferret vet bills box is being filled just incase I need it. I wont be ferreting without collars. JoeD

This is our allotment that we aquired a while ago, the first pictures where taken around early march but just felt like showing you what I have got to tackle. And then the dug over pictures are what I have done this week. I have dug up a little under a quarter of it but to be fair I have only spent around 4 or 5 hours up there and it is back breaking with all those stones in them. But my goal is to have at least 3/4 of it dug by next saturday which should be do-able if I go up there for an hour or 2 after college. But I just can't wait to start growing my veg up there Anyway here are the

Ok I want to have a go at making cider this year. One problem though is that I haven't got a clue how to, so if anyone has any recipes, tips, methods or anythign really then that would be great. I have stumbled across a big traditional orchard that the owner has said that most of his apples go to waste and that I can have as many as I like, which cider instantly popped into my head, and when I metioned that I might have a go he said he would be more than happy to take some of my hands. He also gave me permission to ferret on his land and as a reward for catching his that are eating his
