  1. Don't think we'll be seeing to many true workers on there.
  2. I always admire the pictures of that whippet.do you mind me asking if she's a coursing dog or pedigree?
  3. Delfosteran was the only thing I've injected my hills with .in all my time I've never got anything else
  4. Having food in with your ferrets 24\7 isn't great either guys.over weight ferrets are a nightmare for purse nets,the correct amount of food every evening is enough for all ferrets,yeah a wee bit extra the evening before will suffice for a lot of work next day.
  5. 20euro is about fair for good worker,not to many good working ferrets for sale this time of the year unless he's over stocked maybe.
  6. well lads .back for more .my own net of 75 yrds is hung on hazel poles.there are 1inch rings attached to the bottom lines which easyly slide up and down the poles.hold up the bottom to the top line with a separate line usin the same knot as you would tying a shoelace knot.continue working back along the net until you have reached the end .make sure that the line is long enough that it can be reached away from the net.when you return to drop the net simply pull the line and each knot will unravel one after another.the net will drop .give it go sure
  7. google john orr 'rabbit man'.he has a great system for dropping the net.works well for me mate
  8. thanks lads for that again,great help
  9. thanks for all that .ill keep you all updated on any progress

  11. try james mc kays books mate aswell ,theres not much that man doesnt know when it comes to the welfare of ferrets
