Vets can no longer charge you for writing out a script, you can get it on line if its a pom providing you have the script, if the stuff you need is otc then just shop around Hope this helps, if the vet said you have to pay for a script then report them if it was recently becuase its not right you should be charged for one So i wonder how many people get conned into paying for a consultation when there animal is on some sort of on going medication, say for arthritus or something when all they need is a monthly supply, i wouldnt put up with that & if that were the case i would see

Well i am surrounded by fields but never seen a rabbit in 20 yrs of living here , watched a fox monday night out of the bedroom window scavenging some food from a bin bag on the front that was out for collection tuesday morning We see foxes & squirells regular & red deer but no rabbits, to see the deer is heaven especially early morning

It is strange but as i have never kept my ferrets in the house they come in & out of season naturally, but i do think the conditions have to be right for animals to become pregnant , so maybe natures trying to tell us summat
-
I agree its a tad early to be giving birth but i suppose its a warning to others not to assume last yrs jills wont come into season untill this year & its maybe best to remove any entire hobs by Novemeber at the latest I know lots of people keep ferrets indoors so would expect there ferrets to come into season earlier than ferrets kept outdoors and being subject to normal daylight & dark hours , but if the ferrets in question were kept outdoors then i cant think of an explanation as to why a jill kit should cop for a litter last november, but your point about delayed implant

If your not going to breed its pointless keeping them entire it causes problems health wise so i would defo get them speyed

if you cant get any rabbit yet get some chicken wings, from somewhere like tesco, i buy trays for less than 2 quid that last a week, i just put 2 in a bag & freeze them, then get them out every morning & put them in the fridge untill they have defrostd. If you want to feed some dry as well i would opt of a ferret food rater than a cat one, the cheapo cat foods are made with soya protein, the better ones are meat protein based but will cost more than ferret kibble, so if you have a decent pet place i would go there for the dry food

I had to put an extention cable in the shed last summer as the ferrets were to hot & i had a fan on for them & i also found it usefull when my husband was getting on my wick i would go down there with a cup of tea & sit in there on me deck chair watching the ferrets with the lamp on

I to am no stranger to genetics and from a line of pure bred albinos all you will get are albinos, where as if the eye colour of black or burgundy are present the white masks the colour of the coat. By using two pure lines one albino and the other polecat all you will get are albino and polecat, this is not taking into account ressive and dominant genes Change the albino line with the pink eye to black or burgundy eyed white and you will at some point create silvers. http://www.ferret.org/events/colors/colorchart.shtm Try this link to find out about the eye colour of ferrets and

Aww like butter wouldnt melt

So fitch isnt the general term used for the coat of a ferret, only if its farmed for the coat, thats interesting thanks Locally polecat coloured ferrets are known as fitch , and whats '' Aleutian island '' ferrets , i have heard of Aleutians disease which i think effect mink ,
-
nice one I wondered if fitch was used by the people who made the nobilitys clothes, if ermine was only white in the winter & henry wanted a new top,in the summer who would argue with him maybe albino ferrets were used as a substitute to ermine or maybe the minor royals used fitch

I agree that a dog owners should be held responsible for the actions of there dog, they owe it to the dog to ensure they are steady round people, steady round livestock & under control when off the lead, i was very aware of these things when owing a lurcher untill his death 3 yrs ago. We still have a terrier bitch & i would be mortified if she ever hurt anyone, she is a typical terrier , fiestsy & has an attitude i cant say she has ever been a pain to be honest, she is 11 this yr & very steady & a cracking little bitch . Dog owners need to make sure a dogs in ther

I can only assume Bunnyboy means silvers can loose some of the silver when they moult i think thats what he means

'' As for non-workers they got bread/milk. '' I wonder if ferrets were kept as pets as well then, does anyone have any idea on that one, I must admit i was supprised that the sops feeding was true, i wonder how they handled & can imagine they lived short lives compared to the average life expectency of todays ferrets, i did think maybe jills were shortlived due to them not being brought out of season , other than breeding, but not knowing how many ferrets a keeper would have on average its difficult to know how many they would breed from each year.
