    I just feel sorry for the folk that live there, and have permission there etc. This place has just made hundreds of idiots think they can turn up with a pack of dogs and run game around the place.

    Aye i agree matey, i really feel for you guys, blessed with some nice land to mooch about, but since the 'dales threads' on here, i'm sure it over run with fecking idiots. And it just makes them more hostile to the good lads with dogs.

    Well . . . . . . that's bollocks! Ferrets that leave dead bunnys wont necessarily leave live ones, i got ferrets here that once dead and shaken about, the rabbit is of no interest, and yet will stick all day on a live one. And as for how common is 6ft - some places, nearly all the warrens run 6-10 foot in places. Deepest we have had is a ten footer! Ideally no one wants to leave a dead rabbit, but id swap a hell of a lot of rabbits for my ferrets, especially in undiggable places! so when a rabbit is wedged in real tight an the ferrets only get a little bit of the back end how th

    Hello all. Thanks for all the kind words, she is still with us, and has got a half decent appetite back, and i'm no longer syringing fluid into her, as she will take a soup of the critical care food, and a bit of mince, made up with plenty of water. Still feeding her every few hours, and she doesnt do much inbetween but sleep, but its nice to see now, that when i go to feed her she wakes up and will walk out of the box on her own, and can walk around the room a bit. Her muscles are still very weak. It makes me realise now, after all of the time, care and food etc i have put into her, just

    The only down side i can think of is the combination of very quick acceleration and the usual bits of old machinery, ragged metal, wire etc, you find around the places you can go ratting! Other than that . . . . . fill your boots!

    James Mckay . . . . is he not just a peddler? What a fecking muppet suggesting that in a book!

    Well, she is still here, and perhaps looking a tiny bit better, her breathing is definatly a bit easier. I been syringing fluids into her regularly, along with some of that hills crucial care stuff, made into a watery paste, and have managed to get her to eat bits of mince, and fish etc, every now and then. I'm fecking knackered, been setting the alarm to get up during the night to see to her. Joe14 - cheers for the offer mate, but think the time scale i got here is a bit short, but if she makes it over the next couple of days i will get some to try to build her up. I really hope she m

    Two of my favourite folk on THL, glad you guys got to meet each other! We should all get together one day!

    As tomo says, its horses for courses for me! If the digging isnt going to be too bad, then a sticker is obviously the one you want, but its handy to have a non sticker, one that will kill and stay for maybe a half hour or something, as you can then put them down under concrete, buildings, roads etc and know that most likely at worst, you will have to wait a bit. My favourites are the eye eaters! The ferrets that rather than trying to kill at first, try to pull their eyes out. . . . . that usually makes them bolt! Edited to add - those that stick for a half hour and come out, usuall

    Cheers mate, i will go to the farm supply place tomorrow morning if she is still alive.
  14. Ideation
    If she is still here tomorrow i will try to get some of that cat milk. I love this ferret mate, she has been with me on every days ferreting since the start of the 2009 season, and been all over the country with me, bolting a lot of rabbits. I had to go monday without her and i just couldnt get into it.
  15. Ideation
    Ok mate, i'm just putting the water in gentally as she makes it down, and shes not coughing, so i assume its going to the right place. Ive got to hold her head up for her to take it, she seems weaker than she did this morning.
  16. Ideation
    Ok mate, cheers for that, i just figured that if she could eat, the more she could have the stronger she would get. Shes in the warm now, in the house in a cat cage for the last couple of days. I will keep getting the water into her. How much how often?
  17. Ideation
    Not sure what anti biotics, and the only foods i have here that she will take really, is mince. And its lactose free soya milk.
  18. Ideation
    Aye, they are lactose intolerant, so cows milk can give them the shits and dehydrate them. I'm using soya milk, no lactose, its just all that would go down and has fat and vitamins in it, but i'm trying to get mince into her to give her some kind of strength, but shes skeletal.

    I agree we work teams upto 10 during the season, that's scary amount of collars. What adds insult to injury is the fact the new mk3m are not that great either the metal parts inside just fallout after a while. 100%, ive had the metal bit fall out and the bit that you thread the collar through snap! Apparently its adapted from a piece of kit used to check / locate blockages in drains or something like that.
  20. Ideation
    That was my guess mate, water in lungs leading to infection / pnuemonia, and thus weakness, stopping her eating / competing with the others for food, and so shes got weaker. I really dont hold out any hope, but i'm going to keep syringing fluids and getting some meat into her every hour, if i can, but like i said before, i think shes too far gone. I probably should have started trying to force food into her sooner, but thought she was dying imminantly, and so just tried to make her comfy.
  21. Ideation
    She still looks much the same, but i did just manage to get her to eat a bit of mince, hand fed, which is the most ive seen her eat in the last few days. I think this was caught from working flooded warrens on a cold day, and being on a rabbit submerged for a good while.
  22. Ideation
    Watched a single collie bitch stop a decent sized nasty boar.
  23. Ideation
    Aye the collars are outragous! You work six ferrets, at one time, you are looking at £360 quid in collars!
  24. Ideation
    She's still here but looking weaker, ive been syringing fluids into her, some water, bit of soya milk, and the odd bit of pulped mince. Breathing is very shallow, and shes very lethargic. Before anyone says it, shes not suffering, or i would have taken action already. Looks like its some kind of infection of the lungs and chest. Very slim chance the anti biotics might do some good, but i think she is too weak. Done what you said sokcs, with regard to humidity, and warmth etc. If / when she does go, it leave me up shit creek with regard to ferrets as well, with two on the verge of retir
