    Hi guys.... Ive been thinking of buying big bags of mince from the supermarket to feed the ferrets on as it seem quite cheap and easy to handle. This will only be used when the rare bits run low, But if necessary is it ok to feed them 3/4 times a week on it. I buy 20kg bags of wellbeloved and have loads of it but keeping them on that all the time is no good for them is it? So what do you think? Thanks. Any help is appreciated!

    Whats with all this negativity. I think they look really good quality nets and the price sounds good to. F**k These who are talking sh*t mate they are obviously pissed because they carnt make a decent net like you. I think you are doing a great job and all you doing is helping others by providing a important bit of kit and all they can do is mock! Good luck selling them mate and when i need some you will be the first to no. Bigphil

    Im after breaking my staffy to my ferrets. Although he aint no lurcher i love taking him out ferreting with me but i always keep him on a lead. We was out the other day and what i do is i stick him to the side a he stays but he crys like mad he wants abit of the ation lol. Hes pretty quick too, A rabit bolted from a hole with no net, put it this way when i shouted for him to get it he turned it twice before it made its way back down a different warren (lucky bugger). So we went to the warren that it went down, we didnt net up because we thought that it would'ent bolt with it being chased 15 mi

    Sorry if this has been asked before but couldnt see it. Iam still quite new To ferreting and even owning ferrets and ive been seeing around the forum VASECTOMISED HOBS for people with jills, etc. What are these used for and why? And also when do you no when your jills are in season as i have 4 jills myself? Thanks

    Is it me or does the ferret look like it might need a good meal because to me it looks like a bag of bones and a funny shape? I feel sorry for the poor bugger...

    Good news.... I did try them that day when i said but still it got very violent very quickly so broke them up and seperated again. But went out ferreting the other day with just 2 of my jills 1 being the attacker (SAVAGE), was out all day got back savage was well nackered so thought this was a good opportunity to stick them together so i did, They seem to be ok to start with savage being so F**ked and couldnt be arsed so i left them over night, went back in in the morn there were sleeping together cuddle up in the nest box no problems. This was about 4/5 days ago now and they are s

    This is to funny. a recent survey carried out by Hall’s Haggis revealed that Americans often put haggis hunting on their must-do list when visiting Scotland. Perhaps such myths surround the haggis because nobody has ever been able to verify the specific origins of this strange species. Some compare it to a Greek or Roman sausage-like dish; others credit French cuisine and the Auld Alliance as the word haggis could have come from the French verb ‘hacher’ – to chop or mangle, although they now honour its Scottish connections by calling it ‘Puding de St Andre’. Heaven forbid,

    If your not comfortable with the situation & think its more than just setling in problems i would move Lilly out, she is obviously not happy & bare in mind the other ferrets are effectivly strangers as they were missing for months, so smell differently etc, are they letting of there scent glands when they fight as well It was just lilly that went missing and the others have been together from the start. i think iam going to get them all out in the morn and let them have a run round together which i do anyway but this time iam just going to leave them for about 30mins then go

    To be honest i think personally it is abit nasty. They make weird horrible noises and stuff. And when ive picked 1 up it still had the other in its mouth dangling from its ear... So should i just leave them at it for a bit and see what happens???
  25. bigphil
    Right i started out with 2 jills, they both got out, a few days later i get 1 back by this time id already baught 2 more anyway cut a long story short, the other missing ferret appears after being out for 2 MONTHS. So that makes 4. Well the 1 that was out for 2 months (LILLY) is obviously abit of a git biting, hissing and what not at me. What iam getting to is LILLY is not getting on with the other ferrets she keeps going to bite them they bite her back (PLAYING) but them it turns abit nasty because LILLY keeps going back for more, The thing is tho LILLY isnt even hard and what i mean by thats
