  1. Council tax Council tax, Tv licence, parking charges, and tax on savings are a few more.
  2. Big every time for me, but there again the warrens we ferret are rarely more than a couple of feet deep, so easy to dig to. I find small jills are pulled everywhere and take ages to kill what they latch onto whereas my hobs will have a rabbit dead in a short while, It's then just a case of using the locater and a quick dig. I'd never use a muzzle, just in case the ferret met something it needed to defend itself from.

    LMAO.... Best thread for ages.
  4. One of the greatest influences on 60's music in my opinion, truly awful voice but as a wordsmith he has no equal.
  5. I paid 90 quid to have 2 done a couple of weeks ago. The vet gave me a discount for having them both done together, it's normally 50 quid each.
  6. Trying to post the song by the old dogs, didn't come out quite right. http://uk.video.sear...f-8&n=21&tnr=20
  7. No, I heard on the news yesterday that that Cook had refused to compete in a competition or something like that so the board are punishing him for not towing their line. It's not racism just petty little Hitlers being spiteful because they can. And I agree it is disgusting.
  8. I get mine from a local butcher, £13.00 for 40 1pound bags. 10 each of tripe chicken beef and lamb mince. He gives me a bag of bones each time free.
  9. I've 2 hob kits that will be ready in a few weeks in Walsall mate.
  10. I don't think he'd want to be shooting a gun while he's lamping mate.
  11. 2 hob kits available in a few weeks, based in the West mids.
  12. Well she's already repaid me in a way mate, I've just gone to clean out the run and there's 3 kits sitting in the nest box squeaking at me :icon_eek: When I took her to the vets about the eye last week I asked him what he thought and he said she wasn't pregnant, just shows what they know eh? Maybe I should advertise them as "wild caught", going by the prices some people ask on here they would be worth 50 quid apiece Seriously, if anyone wants one they are welcome to one for free as long as they will look after right.
  13. I had a quote for my 2 last week, 50 quid for one or 45 quid each if they are done together. Sounds like you had a bargain.
  14. Go and get an adult to take the parental control of your computer................ :laugh:
  15. I'm fairly new to ferreting but in my limited experience I think ferrets are like any other working animal and need experience. At the start of last season my 2 hobs would bolt odd rabbits but my mates a lot more from the same warrens, we worked out that my 2 didn't like step ups or step downs and so weren't doing all the burrow. By the end of the season one of mine had learned to do it and I'm confident the other will too by next year, so maybe it's as much down to the amount of work they are given rather than just how they are bred?
  16. I've just took her a chicken wing out for dinner and can't believe how much she's improved in a day. She's gone from poking her head out the nest box for a while before hobbling out to racing up and down the wire the second she knows I'm about. While cleaning her eye earlier I've noticed she has a broken canine tooth to go with all her other knocks, Christ knows what she had a fight with but it gave her a right belting by the looks.
  17. Spot on mate, though I think I know who she belongs to. A bunch of kids from the area have a couple of lurchers and I saw them a few months ago digging for a ferret nearby where I found her (no collar that time either), plus I found a dead hob last year not far away, so I think it's them. I have some sympathy for them because none are over 14-15, but to do it on a regular basis isn't on imo. I did speak to them about getting a collar but it fell on deaf ears I think, plus they have no permission there and used to do a runner from me till they realised I wasn't the landowner, so may have legg
  18. She is the most placid little thing you could wish to see, but it's obvious she has had a hard time of it. Her left eye is gone completely but she doesn't seem in pain with it and it's already looking better after being bathed a few times. My only problem now is that I have 2 whole hobs so I'm going to have to pay out one way or another, either have her done or the hobs. My run has 2 tiers and 30 foot long so it's been no hardship to section a piece off fand separate them and I'll give her a go when the season starts, if she works fine if not she wont cost a lot to keep.
  19. While I was out with the mutt yesterday I gained a new addition to my zoo, a young jill ferret that popped out of a warren. The dog made a put at her at first till he realised what it was which made her dive back underground but within a couple of minutes she was back out and other than a little hiss she let me pick her up and carry her in my hands a mile or so back to the car without so much as a murmour. It looks like she has been out for a while, she's thin and she has what looks like a nasty bite that has taken one eye and a few other cuts and scratches, but after a good feed. bathing the
  20. I had a Fenton moment last week, got off the main road onto the canal towpath, loosed the dog and he immediately put a fox up and chased it up the bank and across the road. I was sure he was going to be run over but the traffic slowed down luckily , I now make sure I'm a few hundred yards down the towpath before loosing him.
  21. A mate of mine told me the other day of one for sale in one of the local shops but I'm not certain which one, It was new but well under RRP so if it would be any good to you I'll get the shop name from him.
  22. If you're shooting once a week all through the rabbits breeding season it's hardly surprising they have reduced in numbers over the years.
