    Often ingesting fur will cause this in ferrets.....I'd take her to your vet

    If I was starting from scratch, I'd go for bodygrippers.........as it is I use both.....but the bodygrippers are first out of the bag

    I'm with scramble on this.....particularly concerning twine weight

    Nice job, mate and those slabs in the lower run will help to keep thier claws worn down

    10 out of 10. much quicker to run out/pick up. Time it right and you don't have to run with it............err so I'm lead to believe

    got to agree with this the guild is great for learning/training but BTMR is the place to get work

    Don't set fire to your net, mate When I converted my nets......I took them into the school playing field...put down a marker...paced out fifty yards....another marker....laid the net between the two....fitted the end poles and trapped them down......spread the net as evenly as possible and fitted my other poles....the jobs a good'un....I don't use grommets or castration rings, much prefer cable ties

    No probs, mate. That was a very good review . I had trouble with knots slipping on grommets, tried castration bands but just wasn't happy with them. TBH i happened to have a load of narrow cable ties at the time and thought I'd try them on one net (I've got three 50 yarders) as they worked so well I changed the lot. Slipping knots aren't too much of a problem in daylight but they are a real pain in the arse at night
  12. longnetter
    Eight poles on fifty yards is plenty , mate. I stopped using grommets years ago and changed them all for narrow cable ties. I posted this once before and someone suggested they might snag but in over ten years with a quickset I've never had a problem and they move fairly easily when you're netting on soft ground

    For a lot of people using Talpex type traps is a massive leap of faith....it goes against everything you've learned......you've got to back fill the trap site......that's why they're so good in light sandy soils

    Agouti also sells an excellent 'starter kit' at a very reasonable price, well worth considering if you're new to net making

    This regulation calling for the sealing of entrances to the nest only applies to Ficam D because it's on the statutory label (law) Legislation also requires you to take all practical precautions to protect other wildlife (like foraging honey bees) So using a non-residual insecticide or Ficam D and sealing the entrances are your only options

    As moley said handy for under patio slabs, paths and very good under the fabric used under decorative bark chippings . Wouldn't use them for general everyday use tho.....take too long too set and check. I've also got a few No-Mols I use for the same purpose

    If it's your own private pond, I'd set up some permanent wooden tunnels in likely spots (so they become part of the enviroment) and just put the traps in when the mink show up. You can be sure if this is the second visit you've had, you'll have more
  18. longnetter
    Absolutely spot on
  19. longnetter
    Try national organisation of beaters and picker ups (N.O.B.s)....they find beaters for shoots.......just up your street
  20. longnetter
    I'd have him ....£65 for a PROVEN vasectomised 2 year old hob is a fair price

    Woodga

    Absolutely........welcome to Rip Off Britain

    I'd have a look around the game fairs mate, Liam and Sara Brinded are pretty good and if you catch them at a game fair Liam will even give you a practical demo.
  24. longnetter
    I'd go for 1 mt mate.........you can always make them shorter if that's too long....... it's a bugger to make them longer if they're too short tho
  25. longnetter
    I believe Killgerm are the only authorised importers of these traps (perhaps Steve Albano can put me right there) Get them direct from Steve Albano, mate............lots cheaper
