    Biting

    Thanks for such a comprehensive response Ditch_Shitter . The "other food" I mention is the meal fed in the morning before work, she stopped eating it. I'm prepared to dispose of the dried stuff and try flesh only, if you think it may work, only thing is access to such is thinner on the ground at this time of year Will keep you posted....

    Biting

    is it a lone kit or part of a group is it getting its fair share off the food & does it have acess to food 24/7 is it being fed flesh or dry food The kit is in with one of my Jills Recently, is fed once a day as lost interest in the other feed and eats plenty - her general condition is excellent Mainly dry fed at this time of year

    Why not look to bring a pup on with your son, could be an extremely beneficial experience for him? At least you know you're not inheriting someone else's problem. My experience is that people don't tend to sell "the good stuff" they have already put the time and effort into training.
  4. Although I've kept ferrets for the past 26yrs, I've got one at the moment who is testing me to say the least! It was born in April this year and has been with me for about 7 weeks. It is handled twice daily, but still the fecker is biting me When they're young and give you a nip, you can understand, but this one has got it's second teeth now and although most of the time it is a nip, occasionally she has seen it fit to become a permanent fixture on my hand! It's not a lack of handling because I spend a fair bit of time with all my ferrets . Have any of you experienced this and more importa
  5. Couldn't agree with you more Foxtrack....
  6. There are no 100% guarantees that any ferret will make the grade, you just increase the odds of obtaining a good worker by breeding from proven parents. In your case, I'd say you have as much chance as you would have with any other kit from the litter. Don't be deterred by size (or so the misses tells me ) as some of us work smaller ferrets and are more than satisfied with the results. Also, a lot will depend on the type of warren you work as well......

    Without doubt (on my land anyway!) I'm in favour of the smaller ferret every time......
