  1. just thought id post this as I know we did discuss this earlier.my two jills are prego and are due on the same sunday (21st may}.they've been brought up together for the two years ,hunt ,play and sleep together,but with only a couple of days left to due date they bickered and constantly drove eachother out of the nesting box.so without taking any chances ive separated them.one jill is carrying way bigger than the other so I hope to do a bit of trickery when all is born.see how things goes

  3. handling from a young age is a no brainer,but no matter how much you handle them they will push there luck as all young animals do ,ive had ferrets 30 yrs now and ive always done the same routine.loads of handling from very young,ive let them nip away till they around 4 wks.after that I start putting my finger into there mouth,not to make them sick or anything but they don't like it and association with my hands in their grip is that nice. I also give them them occasional flick on the nose with my finger when the nip too hard ,all this in my experience is teaching my kits that overstepping the
  4. had an eu last year for six months.i just couldn't take to it ,I new in my heart and soul she was just going to be pain in the ass ,all the time looking to nip and hated been lifted. anyway I ended up swapping her for 3 ordinary jill ferrets and I'm quite happy with my decision as they worked out very well.im glad I got the eu atleast just to show me that there is nothing better than a good working ferret. i always admired the eu for looks and so I think in my opinion the shows are the place for them
  5. seperate next time, even though they might be well used to each other all year round,they can perceive other jills in the nest box as a threat while others will tolerate them

  15. As above guys.just been reading john glovers article in the country mans,his opinion is that a beddy /whippet cross that turns out to be smooth coated have been duped.i acquired a pup 7 months ago that was bred from the dam being a 3/4 grey/beddy to a full track greyhound.one of the litter had a broken coat and the rest smooth.my bitch is 8 months blue in colour,white patch on chest smooth coat.have I been sold a pup! kenny
