report him to the rspca & the local vets & local ferret rescues.

Might think your gonna put em back in an hutch. Give em chance to settle in.

Mines been gone two week now and still missing, make sure you put friendly on the posters. As loads of people have seen mine and just left him as they was scared he was going to bite. Ring council (just incase, the worse ). Put posters up in shops (incase ones on lamposts get ripped down) Put reward so local kids go looking but dont state how much. Log him as lost with rspca hotline incase they pick him up. Put leaflets through peoples doors. Put some cat food in a trap as its strong smelling (even better warmed up) Ask postmen to keep an eye out too.

thought keighly was near me then, I jus checked and its 27 miles away but he has been gone 2 week. Mine cant of travelled that far lol. Anyway well done for trying to find the owner.
-
I normally roll em on their backs and rough em up, or run around and they chase after me lol. Also wave a towel over em, or give em a carrier bag to play in they go mad & those fishing rod toys you can get for cats. Main reason mine live in a shed and court as i can get in there with em as they dont come in the house.

Mine have dry food, 2 or 3 brands so its abit more varied. But they also have meat on a night, the odd egg, lacto-free milk & liver every so often. Mine would also much rather eat dry than meat too sometimes.

Dont know, but they will charge you a reasonable fee.. Can my vet refuse to issue a prescription? If you are recommended by your vet to use any prescription item for the treatment of your pet you are entitled by law to a prescription instead if you wish. Will my vet make a charge for providing a prescription? Yes, veterinary surgeons can now charge a "reasonable fee" for the writing and presenting to yourself of a prescription.

I just googled.. You can get it from here if your vet will write you a perscription. http://www.bestpetpharmacy.co.uk/detailed_product.asp?id=69012

Get some from a rescue, they'l be all neutered and you'l be able to keep em all together all year round
-
nice run there, lucky ferrets.

Jill jab

Or if you dont want to tame kits get a couple of adults from a rescue centre, IMO theyre better for first timers and they'l be already nip trained etc.
-
I would handle them as much as poss through the day. Bear in mind theyre not just going to sit there, they'l want to be down exploring so I would get a run or a shed that you can sit in with em lol. Make sure theyve had a run round first though and they'v got a belly full of meat so theyre less inclined to bite.

Hobs in the breeding season will try shagging each other, and its this time of year and its mating season for ferrets. I would seperate the hobs from each other untill the season is over and their nuts go back in then they can go back together. Hope this helps.

2 Here that work

Looks good, you didnt have to build a run, the whole shed looks a great play area for em LOL so the jill thinks too.
-
That great epo, plenty of space for em there . Is that the sleepin box in the last pic? Good idea.
-
Fleece blankets all the way, just chuck em in the wash when they start to get abit grubby.
-
I feed mine dry food 24/7 as ferrets eat every couple of hours. Then I feed raw meat on a night. Cut out the bread and milk, bread will do nothing for em & ferrets are lactose intolerant so they cant digest lactose in normal milk but if you want to give em some as a treat get some lactofree or catmilk for em .. Hope that helps
-
handfull of food? Ferrets eat every couple of hours as they got a short digestive tract. Mine have vitalin and they have raw meat on a night. I would have thought the bread & milk went streight through em cos ferrets are lactose intolerant.
-
Nice , they deserve spoling dont they.. I have very simlar cage in the shed, its a good cage, its much easier when they go in the litter trays.
-
If you have already used a flea treatment on them you will probably have to wait to retreat again with a different product or they might react with each other .
-
Great pics. Ive got the feretnation in me shed too, good cage it is
-
I dont think you can get frontline drops for small animals, the best stuff is the frontline spray from the vets. The frontline drops for cats etc are too strong for ferrets.
