  1. I would have said sycamore but it wouldn't burn well green but dries up nice and goes very light when seasoned and splits easy
  2. They are great too have around once you get used too them. Full of fun and happy creatures if you sort out the breeding issues as joe said. Best thing I had done was castrate my hob he turned into a bundle of fun instead of the sex mad grease monkey he was I wouldn't be with out mine now
  3. Just had a quick look on youtube for you but didnt go past page one mostly quickset videos. If you can muster the funds get this book http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/1846890586/ref=sr_1_1_olp?ie=UTF8&qid=1353880362&sr=8-1&condition=new
  4. As soon as you can let the pup nose through the cage front if it can and let them mingle in the yard. If the ferret nips the pup all well and good at an early stage better now than later and things should be fine as the pup grows up with them
  5. Glad that ended well would have been a sad story other wise. Losing a dog too ground was all ways my worst fear in the old days. I used to weigh it up in my mind risking a dog you have got attached too but on the other hand you have to let them do what they love and I wouldn't have it any other way
  6. Y EH 2012 OOOPS SORRY YES IT WAS BUD Yea I really enjoyed it he seems a tidy chap and you cant blame him for throwing the old strop at times with all that attention. Be interesting too see how the tour shapes up next year
  7. was that the year in yellow one ?
  8. What a day great going and the jed sounds a determined dog. Hat off to the old chap I really hope I am as able at that age great too see
  9. Thanks for all the pointers there is a few things for me too try now
  10. Used too trap quite a few as a kid and send the furs too cobbledick. Was lots about at the time I suspect its the same now
  11. Its not so much the size its the attitude and mink have a very bad one
  12. If you had ever seen a full grown mink in a cage trap you would know the answer too this one. I pray my ferrets never come across one
  13. If you can find a spot where there is a drop down too the rabbits retreat so your hidden from view as you lay the net ( I think the term is blind set not sure though ) that would be handy. Or a spot where the rabbits go through a small field into a bigger one so you have a hedge between you. I had a tidy night the other night when conditions were far from perfect with clear sky and no wind and I thought it would be a waste of time but it wasn't
  14. Just takes a bit of practice or ideally some one too show you failing that check youtube maybe. I use one and have no urge to get a quick set
  15. vary your lengths a bit a few nice short ones are ideal for tight spots in the hedge
  16. approach the nearest farm and if it is not there's they are likely too know who
  17. Used too follow the Carmarthenshire many years ago when Lyn was there followed by Trevor. I used too do the skinning for them. Met some good terrier lads from the valleys doing it too
  18. Surprising how far they travel from where you see them. Chances are when they hop in the cover they are going a fair old way or just sitting out in the cover unless pressed too ground
  19. The wife keeps banging on about Skirlie but proper oatmeal is as rare as rocking horse shite down here and live yet to try it.. Going to try the health food shops next time I'm in town, tried everywhere else.. They had some in aldi the other day
  20. I would take your time and get a well bred pup when your ready and learn together
  21. Nice read that I love the look on the ferrets face when the dog waltzes off with his rabbit
  22. Don't worry about the post good read would very interested in the recipies all ways on the look out for some thing too try
  23. I take it you don't have a dog ? like me in which case it is a struggle but keep at you will hit gold at some point and it is well worth it then. As you say just 1 rabbit is a big success I had this one the other weekend after doing about 7 empty sets of holes made it all worth while
