  1. I would definately be looking for a way of cooling the thing down in the summer. Its made out of metel, with the sun beating down on it the ferrets will bake in no time. Yes light important but temperature is too. As has been said, you could cut the roof off and use mesh which would help with airflow. Plastic sheeting a few inches above the mesh would keep it rainproof and create light. I would also cut a few windows in the sides and mesh them over too. Once you have done this go and stand in it for an hour in the heat of the day and see how comfy it is and make more windows if you think its n
  2. There is a spot on treatment (simular to frontline for dogs and cats) made by a company called beaphar. It covers all parasites (worms, ticks, fleas etc) and is made specifically for rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets and rats. It contains ivermectin as the active ingredient. I get mine from a pet store called jollyes but iv seen it on ebay before. Even if its not the problem its still worth doing 1 to rule it out and 2 to keep on top of the things.
  3. A jill will only kill her young if she doesnt trust you not to hurt them (if she sees you as a predator/threat rather than a friend) and even then she will warn you to stay away first with her body language. If she is constantly running in and out the nest when your about steer clear. Its all about bond, same as with dogs. Last litter i bred i went down the garden to see if she had dropped yet or not and as soon as i opened the cage door she grabed my hand and dragged it into the nest area to show me what she had done! If in any doubt at all though, stay well away.
  4. Defo collie grey with a bit of bull. Not sure about whippet but maybe. By what youve said about its rate of growth and the pic of its knuckles i reckon 25 - 26 inches fully grown mate. Cracking lookin dog, you and your mates done a good job.
  5. should put a tread on it on how to handle and surport pregnant does Alan my old treacle. Perhaps we could also put a thread on about how to not be a twat? 1) You quoted the wrong picture. 2) They are called jills not does. 3) She was only held in that way for around 3 seconds, long enough to get the pic and not long enough to cause her any harm. 4) A spelling lesson wouldnt go amiss! Lol!
  6. treat it like a lurcher and it will act like one i know what your saying mate but some people make out saluki x are stupid,so why would anyone work full saluki Thats a popular misconception. Salukis and saluki Xs are FAR from thick!! They are a lot more independant than most types and tend to do things their own way which can be frustrating for the owner but they are brilliant dogs in the right hands and as iv said they certainly aint daft! One thing to mention here though: they are VERY SENSATIVE! If you hit them or shout at them they will never have anything to do with you again, y
  7. And these to showing what they look like when there pregnant! Lol!
  8. Cant wait to see finding nemo 2! Lol!

      That wee b*****ds needing put on a leash

  9. As has been said, sawdust aint a good thing but shavings and straw are spot on. They will do the rest themselves.
  10. Its a shame your dumping them mate. Maybe if you took home and froze them you could have a fair number for whoever gets lucky?
  11. Any raw meat. I see your an airgunner, shoot some squirrels and pigeons for it. Rabbits the natural diet but they love pigeons, squirrels and so on too. Dont bother with crows etc. I wouldnt feed rats to mine neither, filthy f*****g things! And feed whole, dont skin. Gut yes if you want to but leave the offal in. As for training: you shouldnt have to, a ferrets instinct is to explore a dark hole that smells of rabbits and when they find a rabbit their instinct is to try n kill it. The rabbits instinct is to get outa here! Lol! If it does seem a little slow off the mark let it follow an experie
  12. And dont take any notice of ballbag courser, you can see the regard he has for his animals on page 3 (appropriately!)of this thread http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/198996-justice/
  13. Mate keep her seperate untill she is back to 100%. If she is off colour the others MIGHT pick on her and thats something she really could do without if she already fighting off an infection. Also its easier to monitor how much she is eating and drinking. A small cage might actually be a good thing short term.
  14. Well i WAS going to help you untill i saw your uncalled for foul mouthed tirade at others that tried to help you. Then i noticed your from sunderland so i understand that perhaps you cant help it. For the sake of the dog i will still do my best to drum some sense into your numb little skull. When the bitch comes into season KEEP HER SEPERATED FROM ALL OTHER DOGS. Three weeks later you can carry on as normal with her. Her next season should be 12 months later (some smaller breeds and terriers etc are only 6 months between seasons). THIS IS THE EARLIEST TO CONSIDER BREEDING FROM HER. I woul
  15. Why was the ban forced into being in the first place when it was voted against?! Because bLiar is a tosspot!
  16. Because bLiar gets more votes that way?
  17. Hare coursing was included in the ban because bLiar called "fox hunting" "hunting with hounds" and then exempted rabbits and rats. But why include hare and not rabbit? Moll they didnt INCLUDE anything. They called it hunting with hounds, that means you cant hunt ANYTHING at all with a dog. Then they EXEMPTED rabbits and rats.
  18. Hare coursing was included in the ban because bLiar called "fox hunting" "hunting with hounds" and then exempted rabbits and rats. I have to say i agree with baw on this one. The fellas should get away with it and we should be cheering them on not slating them cos there travellers and were not! They were doing it not just for sport but to feed a family of 6 kids! The poor fuckers should get their hand shaken by every single one of us in my opinion. Edited to say theres travellers and theres travellers. Most are decent people, some are c**ts. Its exactly the same for the settled people
  19. Comments like "set dogs on three defenceless creatures while they screamed encouragement", "barbaric hare coursing" and "bloodthirsty Sammy Stewart and his ex-con brother-in-law Donald" it just has to be the f*****g sun doesnt it?! :wankerzo4:
  20. Il be up that way in a week or 2 mate if you still have to much then i wouldnt mind.
  21. Get her seperated again mate. If its a virus you dont want her passing it on to her sister. Make sure she has water. As for feeding: try breaking an egg into a bowl for her to lap up, its better than nothing. Also try blending a bit of rabbit (especially the offal) into a paste and put that in a bowl for her.
