  1. pure and simple mate,farmers reclaiming the fields ,ive seen it happen all the time .farmers fillig up holes with slurry and back filling them ,ditch rabbits dont have that problem.rabbit holes in the middle of fields are a rare sight now..where you at
  2. tricky one alright ,remove everything from hutch and wash out.start from scratch.all answers above are correct.skycat is on the ball with feeding .and paulis is faultless in his advice.ruling out different problems as you go.id imagine that once you you make some or all of the above changes hopefully things will pick up for you mate is there any other adult ferrets among the kits?had to ask!
  3. i was badly stuck one day and turned to tool box that i bought in lidl.I fixed a seat belt to either end and drilled a couple of tine holes on the sides its very light ,waterproof and very sturdy.turned out to be the best box ever.oh and cheap as chips
  4. the wee fick on the nose works a treat mate.ya cant beat alot of handling.some might not agree with me but any of the more agressive i place my finger tip in there mouth so they cant bite down hard,they dont like this at all and they`ll come around soon enough .also works with older biters
  5. i think you`ll have learned from the guys on here that its an absolute NoNo. im a long time around ferreting and of all the bad practices that have ever been heard of ,this is a sorry first to hear this one .politley tell your friend thanks for his input but no thanks ,i`ll leave it on

  10. well guys ,can anyone remember the smock that used to be advertised in the countrymans weekly at the back. cant think of its name and it looked a real good one.
  11. try a bit of lamlac mate .it will give your kits a good boost,im not sure they are silvers mate as they are dark in the legs. had them before and they were almost white in colour with with silver guard hairs . all the best kenny
  12. I do alot of ferreting all year round and keep poleys and albinos,i have to say that some of the best bolters ive ever had are the small albino jills.eyesight never is a factor in ferrets only its ability to locate bunnys quickly with its nose.In the dense cover of summer when they emerge from the holes they catch my eye quicker also making them easier to see than the poleys.Of course this has the opposite effect in the winter.its all down to 2 things nose and no fear,oh and SIZE is also a factor.colour is a fancied thing that differ amongst all of us .Each to there own
  13. a bit of lamb lac is a great filler for young kits and a welcome drink for the jills.watch them grow!!!
