They should be bloody greatfull not miserable, they fill our bellys full of of little arms & legs & they still moan when we buy a ferret cage, selfish or what can you tell my husbands pissed me off

Thanks for those tips - thought it looked similar to your one. I like the way you customised yours - think I'll be taking some of these tips. I DO have an electric screwdriver (or at least my husband has one I can use!), and I'll prob get my 14y old to help build it! (better than asking Mr Grumpy who isn't too chuffed I bought it!)... So, some little blocks of wood at the corners to ease with hosing out the muck - top tip! Can you show a pick of the shelf in the house please? Just so I can figure out how to do it! Sounds like it will make more space for them too! I h

Last night my lad took a pasting off some older lads , he arrived back here at 8pm a little subdued then i noticed he had a black eye, anyway he at that point burst into tears & i went to give him a love & he pushed me away & wanted his dad i dont understand why he didnt want a love off me any ideas, its never happened before , he isnt a mammys boy but is normally quite cool about showing affection to his mom in the house obvioulsy , not in front of his mates I feel a bit hurt he wouldnt let me help him, he is nearly 13

spayed jill,seperated from mother now fighting??
Kay replied to mooster's topic in Ferrets & Ferreting
I must admit when i took ferrets in i had more problems with homing jills than hobs, basically they were as you have described, not just in the summer either, i had rows of cages full of solo jills who i had to seperate due to constant fighting, but i did find that having a very docile vasectomised hob helped, i basically left him in a run full off jills all year & he served each one who needed bringing out of season, i also managed to house a couple of castrated hobs in there as well, i had a group of around 15 ferrets all living happily together, the jills rarely came back into season af -
Micky you disapoint me , thought you were going to give us an indeapth answer
-
.it happend ,because you dont know how to look after ferrets. would you please tell the rest of us where smudger went wrong then, as we need to know as a matter of urgency before any more kits die
-
Does anyone know for sure if these kits have actually been culled, ie marks on the bodys or have they just died mysteriously, have people used wood treatments on cages etc, or used flea treatments, if its a medical cause the only way to confirm things is for several kits to have post mortoms , its not going to hurt to collate as much info as possible & its good ferret welfare & will help future ferret keepers & the people on here in the future, i have no objection to contributing to a post mortom So what do others think

Kay replied to mooster's topic in Ferrets & Ferreting
if you think about it she was seperated from the mother , made to smell different due to the vets, kept seperated for a futher week , so when you tried to reintroduce them the result was the top ferret wasnt happy at the prospect of a newbie mustling in. It would be like me turning up where you live & raiding your fridge & expecting to sleep in your bed, ( you know what i mean ) you wouldnt be very happy really , so maybe they need to get to know one another again briefly each day & then swap bedding from the 2 cages & try again after a week or so of meetings for 10 mins a -

nobs , and i dont mean the kind who run havoc with bottles of cider in the street , lol Dale Do you really think i would be inside typing this to you if my garden had a selection of nobs in it thanks for makeing an old woman happy what a lovely thought -
Sorry to read this sad news, logically i suppose either jill could have killed the kits, i think they knew something that you didnt hence the behaviour, its a horrible sight finding half eaten ferrets, i found an elderly hob half eaten some yrs ago, i think he was culled because he was sick, ferrets can be fine one min then dead the next, showing no clinical signs of illness. I think its just natures way sad as it is how old were the kits
