  1. Would use eggs, lose the milk though, cows milk isn't the easiest to digest. . Eggs are great for the coat joints etc, milk, not really good for much. if you want to increase the calcium, give raw uncooked bones
  2. Cheers fella, His Dam is bull X Whippet/Grey, Sire is 3/4 Grey 1/4 Bull
  3. Well, at four months the pup was steady enough for accompanying me out on a ferreting trip. Off with Jamie93 to the Orchard. Before anyone comes up with some ageist remark, the pup was not expected to work, merely watch and learn. A patient wee lad so it turns out He sat steady watching proceedings and seemed very interested when the first two hit the long net Then on to some open sets for some purse netting, which were rather productive, Harley encountered young nettles and was a little less than impressed. Poor little bugger was walking like he'd been out on the town :alcoho
  4. I had the same thing, golf ball size, just below the liver, it's not re absorbed young The whole young re absorbtion thing would take place in the womb, below intestines next to the bladder. I dom't wnow what the cytsesque thing is, but i don't eat the rabbits with internal growths
  5. As some have mentioned, the mesh size/type can be a worry, you need to use weldmesh instead of the chicken wire/ twistmesh. This can be bought in panels or rolls, wicks do a roll cheep enough. ferrets can get out through chicken wire, i had a hob push through it , live and learn . 1" x 1/4" should be perfect
  6. heres my random bully x mastiff cross type thing
  7. F*cking Hard Core mate!! :gunsmilie: I love it but finding others willing to sleep in chest freezer condtions aint always easy . Fair play to you mate :thumbs:
  8. Just no helping some people :wallbash: :wallbash: :icon_eek:
  9. Wouldnt mind the hunting one pal, how much? At a guess i'd say FREE
  10. PS, you would either need to mesh the entire floor, or, my choice, use slabs. the ferrets will dig out in no time otherwise.
  11. It's a fine place to house them mate Just make sure you have a good base
  12. MMM, makes little sense, there is a reason so many people recommend/ use locators, i can't say i've herd your reasons for not using them before lack of funds then maybe i just hope you find someone willing to give you a ferret knowing you would rathe block a ferret in then find it and recue it, what if there is a tunnel collapse or it gets stuck behind a dead rabbit etc Maybe i am wrong and these locators are just a gimmick
  13. a good read and nice pics too, it's great to see a couple more advocates for the sport, i look forward to hearing of your future escapades I find a retractable cheapie stanley/box cutter type knife does the job lovely. and me with my heavy handedness, it matters not if you break or lose it, as it's only a quid or so from town ATB LD13
  14. good first post mate locator's the way forward, i wouldn't worry too much about the odd one left in, with experience you'll get to know your ferrets working style and abilities at least with a locator it will give you confidence, and you can see then if the ferret is moving lots, being given the run about, or has one in a stop end/killed. all the best, and :welcomeani: Ld13
  15. Here is a vid of some good looking dogs abroad working some tough looking land, these dogs must be well put together to deal with the terrain. http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-8380331309857939783&ei=f1VlS8mkJIOm-AbHzpDPCA&q=mink+hunting&hl=en#docid=-7742259586882524299
