Hi guys I have decided to feed dry food through out the summer I normally feed minced chicken with chicks for a change but I always have dry cat food as a supplement Normally they dig out a large percentage of the dry food onto the floor which they then decide to eat but there is always some left in the shavings which gets wasted That is OK with cheap cat biscuit but expensive ferret food is different. My question is has anybody else got the problem and if so how did they solve it ? what dish, container etc. Cheers Sam

I made a ramp and covered it with rough sand Paper they use it to get to different levels in the court Works a treat Sam

Thanks guys I got turned over about 6 years ago so I reinforced the door And locked it in a steel cabinet so I thought that would be secure I believe the bas####s that did it then came back. Luckily I am insured but I can't replace the flies and special patterns that I built up over the years. Sam

Hi Guys Last week I had all my fly gear stolen by some scum b#####ds. I had over 1000 flies with patterns that I had built up over 50 years. It was all TOP gear ,the Reels were Shimano Biotec which are uncommon . These scumbags couldn't get through the door of my garage so they smashed through the wall and a locked steel cabinet to get to the gear If any one gets offered gear in the S Wales area I would appreciate a shout.

I am old in my ways I use gills but when they stay down too long or kill in I introduce a hob and he shifts them a bit sharp and I then dig to him(Typical liner methods) Sam

My rabbiting mate's jills came into season last week I am sure the weather has something to do with it his are kept out doors None of mine are showing signs yet Sam
-
I think that it depends what is expected from the locator my MK3 is accurate in location and gets me near enough to the depth ,however,if you want it to be with-in an inch or two I recon it is not going to happen. My MK3M is more accurate with a MK3M collar than with my MK3 collar and it is much more accurate than the MK1 or 2 Sam

I used a liner ferret for years and take it from me it is bloody hard work. I have a bitch that does exactly the same she will never leave a set if there are rabbits still in there I have been ferreting for 60 years and she is the best I have had and the second best I have ever seen the best being a bitch that my dad had Sam

Is The Rabitters Forum Finished For Good?
sam007 replied to Country Joe's topic in Ferrets & Ferreting
Hay watch it with the old bit can still beat you whipper snappers putting a net down just takes a bit longer to get up off my knees Sam -
If its gonna come away when caught, you gonna lose it. More holes in the collar, tight fit. Job done. Never had a slip since adding more holes. The more stuff hanging off a ferret, the more chance its got of getting caught up or disturbing the nets. I intended to leave the normal collar on but have an extra strap attached to it with velcro I make all my own collars and the holes are much closer than the norm but I would still like an extra security Sam
-
Hi Andy I looked at harnesses but I was concerned that they could snag underground and trap the ferret thats why I was thinking about velcro that could be pulled free Sam
-
I have lost a collar and as all my work is in holly or blackthorn hedges you can imagine the pain to get it back. I have been thinking about attaching a strap to it with velcro that goes down the ferrets back and around him just behind the front legs anybody tried some thing like it ???? Sam
-
I have a MK3M and use the MK3M &MK3 collars The MK3M is accurate but the MK3 are out about a foot Never tried adjusting them Sam
-
Well this topic proves it . There a lot of guys on here who have more mouth than brains! It's wonderful how there are sooo many experts on here when even the best scientists in the country admit they don't really know how to control bovine TB. It is my opinion (and only an opinion )is to leave it to the farmers. they will control if necessary. Some of my farmers want to cull on their farm but some have clean badgers and they know that if they are culled infected ones may move in So it must be better to give the farmers the choice the problem is theirs and the should deal with it and

Mk3 Ferret Collar Non Magnetic Version
sam007 replied to lurchers4life's topic in Ferrets & Ferreting
I always buy the chapest batteries I can fInd usually off ebay change them every time I go out Not worth taking a chance on a battery running out for a couple of pence Sam -
The Mk 3 collars will work with the MK3m box but I find that the box is not as accurate as with the mk3m collars the depth seems to be about 6ins short but location is no prob I believe that the mk3m collars work with the mk3 box but not absolutly sure as I don't have a mk3 box Sam

Some time ago I had a ferret off the RSPCA and that was chipped and doctored by them but you had to pay when you took the ferret £50 four years ago Sam

Hi Guys I have just been watching a warrener DVD in which he is pushing a net that has leaded line as a drawer cord and NO peg and I believe no ring Has anybody sewn and used these type of nets if so what is the pattern used Cheers Sam
-
Totally agree Phil .I had a line that went back over 55 years (on the bitch side) both my father first and I kept it going All albinoes but great workers nice medium ferrets (which I prefer)until I packed in ferreting after my buddy passed and some nice guys stole the last 2 bitches of that line Like you am looking forward to the season but need to knock some doors last year my permissions had very small amounts to go for so may have to travel a little further afield Good luck with your pup Got all the coney catcher dvds will check Good hunting Sam
