yeah i would agree, leave them until the jill is strong and active enough for a bit of rough and tumble

sperm can live in the "upstream" part of the reproductive tubes for several weeks in humans following a vasectomy, so i would guess that this is probably similar in ferrets and other mammals. so if you didnt wait long enough after the operation then your hob may have bred them. also, if you judging expected birth date by the first day of introduction then yes 8 days does seem a long time, but they could have been mated any time after running them together. hope you dont end up with loads of kits to rehome mate, good luck!

ive done a lot of horrible jobs, both physically demanding(fecked knees shoulders and back now) and disgusting (drains etc) but the worst i ever had was delivering papers. now i dont mean a normal paper round, i mean stacks of free papers to tower blocks on the pepys estate in deptford, one of the roughest parts of south east london . blocks were something like 20 storeys high, i think 8 or 10 flats on each floor, and most of the lifts were broken. even if they were working they were sloshing with piss, sometimes shit, syringes, even a dead pigeon. and if you did find a lift that worked then

or is it down to the people youre working FOR?

just read about the little girl getting taken away from her parents because of the rspca, it nearly brought me to tears. they are sick c##ts and i hope every one of them dies screaming. no need to say that mate maybe not, but thinking about my little ones and how i would feel if someone took them away from me, i was thinking a lot worse than that, believe me
-
no your right its not going anywhere, we can agree to differ! i dont know why there are so many around, but the fact that albino is a recessive gene means it can be carried and passed on to each generation without ever showing. so you can have a family of polecats which had one mating to an albino many generations ago, but the gene wont show untilone of the carriers is mated to another carrier, and even then there is no guarantee. i guess most polecats would have at least one albino somewhere in their ancestry, so you will be getting albinos cropping up in most litters? add the fact that ju

Well put mate except that my mate has actually produced 3 solid polecat kits in a litter from 2 real albino parents-not DEWS albinos. So you're partly incorrect. My thought is that ferrets carry so many colour variations that just about anything can show up. OK, i dont want an argument, but there has to be some doubt about the parentage of your mate's litter, and unless you saw the mating yourself, and you had your eyes on the jill throughout her receptive phase (so you can be certain a different male didnt breed her) then you should be doubtful too. not saying that your mate is tell

thanks for that. wasnt quite as simple as the instructions on that link, i had already tried most of that stuff and i simply wasnt allowed to perform some of those instructions, but i worked round it and am finally free!!! cheers Al

i had a 53 plate navara, i loved it. had 24000 on the clock, and it was worked hard but fair. got to 101000 never any problems what so ever and i get a call from the mrs in a panic because she had borrowed it and the engine had blown up! apart from that, i really liked it!!! my next pick up will be a navara

this is my take on feeding dogs: although essentially carnivores, dogs will scavenge and live on all sorts of organic material. think about street dogs throughout the developing world, they live on any kind of thrown out garbage, even eat human shit, and maybe the odd rotten rat corpse they find on the dump. but they live, breed, rear pups etc. or look at pet dogs, fed for generations on table scraps or tins of chappie . just as third world humans have a crap diet but still survive, or chavs eat microchips and blue pop, but still do OK. BUT just like human athletes, canine athletes need a b

oh by the way, has anybody ever used wood wool? i remember a chap telling me a few years ago that he liked it, but i've never used it myself
-
good straw is good, flimsy or dusty straw is crap. shredded paper is good, vet bed and carpet are fine but personally i prefer something a dog can scratch and pull about to its own taste, so i tend to get duvets or blankets from the charity shop and throw them away every week or two
-
you need to adapt a long net, using taller poles than usual. just set it up and then lift the bottom up off the ground about 18 inches or so, so the rabbits can pass freely under it. you may have to wait a week or so until they are happy to do this and relaxed when feeding. tie weights to the bottom of the net, so it falls well and quickly. i have seen two ways to lift it off the floor, one was to tie it to each pole with a slip knot, and run a long line through all the knots so you could undo them with one good pull. a better way, but harder to set up, is to have a short line tied to the

there is a lot of information on this thread which is rather misleading for the beginner. so lets try to simplify it a bit in case anybody is a little confused. a recessive gene is one which can only be produced in an animal if both parents carry it, so although they don't necessarily show the gene they must have an ancestor somewhere which did. albino in any animal is a recessive gene, so parents must either be albinos, or both carry albino genes. recessive simply means that the gene doesn't necessarily show if an animal has it. therefore two polecats can easily carry albino genes and so

while we're talking computers, my mrs has managed to install SweetIM search as default on internet explorer (i use google chrome myself). how can i get rid of it? I've tried everything. there are several options on the internet but you have to pay for them all, is that the only option?

i've never had a problem feeding horsemeat, i think sandymere is right and it depends how slowly new items are introduced to the diet. i think it also depends what the dog has been getting beforehand too. i have soemtimes fed flesh that is a bit "high" if left out of the fridge a bit long and the dogs have no problems with that either. feeding bone with the meat helps stop any looseness. its important to differentiate between loose faeces and diarrhoea. flesh alone can make slightly soft dung, and lights, melts and liver can cause a black tarry dung; nothing to worry about but certainly n

i've a ruger 30.06 here and i love shooting it, the recoil is really nothing to worry about

i had a dog almost died from panacur a few years ago. i had used it on that dog before with no problems at all. but this particular time the dog just started shitting brown stinking liquid, didnt want to eat or move just laid in its bed. could barely move off the bed to shit. vet got a drip into her in the end cos she wouldnt even drink and was dehydrated, wasnt back to her old self for about a fortnight. vet couldnt suggest what the problem was. i know the dose was definitely right. i havent used panacur for any dogs since. also had a mate who almost lost a litter of terrier pups when he

not trying to poke my nose in, but might i suggest the above alteration, just to avoid any possible confusion? hope all goes well tomorrow

when i was in western australia some years ago, there was a rumour that some workmen were at harris's house down by the margaret river, and they had uncovered a stash of porn in his shed. we laughed it off at the time, but looking back perhaps people should have read the warning signs a bit better
-
i have made a few enquiries and although i'm not swearing this as gospel, this is my understanding: the rspca can hold the dogs as they are subject of a court order (the warrant by which they were seized). in order to overrule the terms of this, dy would have to get another court order. firstly, this could take months as he says, secondly he will have to pay clive to obtain this, and i dont think these costs are recoverable if/when the court case is won; thirdly the application for an overruling court order might ultimately prove unsuccessful, so it would have been an expensive, time consu

i strongly suspect some involvement of the parents in that poor kids disappearance, but there is a different emphasis about it all for me. if i could ever afford to go on a foreign family holiday, i would want to share it with my babies, that would be part of the fun, not leave them in a room while i went out on the drink. forget the abduction/murder/whatever, i would hate to think of my 3 year old waking up alone in a strange place and getting upset. i am fiercely protective of my family, and love them more than anything, i certainly would not be leaving twin toddlers in the care of a 3 y
