thanks for all the advice they are coming on good so far the only thing we need to stop now is them climbing our legs as they bite to get extra grip ( i think anyway) , both me and the boy are more confident and the ferrets love the malt paste so hopefully things will just keep getting better , once again many thanks for all the advice

hi all i have pretty much decided to buy my son a hw 95 for xmas we can get one from our local shop fully set up with scope for £375 is this a good price , dont really like to buy from internet shops as i like to be able to actually see someone if it goes wrong . also what would be a good scope to go with this gun he is getting it in 177 and will be using it for rabbits / pigeons etc . any advice appreciated

had the ferrets out in the kitchen last night and they were actually brilliantly behaved apart from climbing our legs and trying to bite through our trousers , the malt paste i ordered from ebay was definately a hit with them they loved it and whilst they were licking the back of our hands didnt mind being picked up , i put a tiny bit of the paste in the hutch before putting them back with their chicken and they went in as good as gold , i know its early days but it did feel good handling them without gloves and them not minding , thanks for everyones advice

thanks for all the advice i am picking up a 6x4 shed off of freecycle tomorrow and the plan is to put mesh up 2/3rds of one side and build an aviary style safety door so they will have plenty of room to run around and tire themselves out without risking them escapeing , as i breed serama bantams i dont want to risk the boy dropping them and them getting my birds
