  1. I've a litter of 9 which are now 10 days old, growing like crazy. Hoping to keep a hob and a Jill back, have homes for most of them already. Not too many breeding this year in my area
  2. Nice job mate. My Grandad had his best hob done years ago but yours looks twice the job!
  3. Got 7 today. Can't be arsed with the wet weather tomorrow so thats me done for the season!
  4. Think this weekend will be the last for me, will have to get out saturday and sunday. make the most of it!
  5. Need to be handled and used to humans everyday. Its not always aggression, most of the time they are bored and when they see a hand they usually just want to play fight and they play rough!! If you know you cant get to them everyday make sure you have plenty of things in their enclosure that they can explore. Pipes, tennis balls etc. I got a jills a few months ago given to me that the original owner swore it was curst and was wicked... turned out it spent most of its time in a in a rabbit hutch with noting to keep it occupied and never handled, well only handled when it was used for workin
  6. Any working hobs going in Belfast/Larne area? For a friend, his bloody jackrussell got out of its run and eat through the ferret hutch and kill his ferret lol
  7. "That would be a good idea if I wanted a name for myself, or wanted to be looked upon as a wise teacher." The above is what I think you are looking for already! I'm with alot of people on here, what you do is great and I could'nt do it.. But please a book!? A thing that you would make money from, a thing that would get your name out there. I enjoy watching your youtube videos and admire your work but please leave it at that.
  8. I got a Sealey one from a farm supply shop near by, ive used it 3 times and its done the job. Pretty robust too. its the same one as in the link. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sealey-SS01-SS03-Folding-Shovel/dp/B005FPUNF2
  9. Usually get on fine. They have the smell of the rabbits on there mind!
  10. I only ever cut mine when it's the off season, but I only trim them I never cut them short. They are useful when they are working
  11. All the above has been noted!!! Will get another look around and see wat the plan is
  12. As far as I'm aware it is part of his ground... Will try the long nets and have 4 other guys gona come along. Have my Jill and a cracking hob that I'm getting a lend of (both sandy. Worth a go anyway, few hours fun won't go a miss. Good idea about the hi visibility coats!!
  13. Just wondering have any of you guys gone ferreting right next to a road? I was asked by a mate of mine that helps out on his uncles farm if I could get rid of some rabbits and of course I said yes!! So yesterday I went down to have a look and it is right beside a bloody dual carriageway. It's a bank that is full of holes and his hedges are getting destroyed. I'm not too sure about it now incase rabbits start bolting on the road or even my ferret taking a wonder. Would you guys use a long net? Advice please?
  14. Oh I thought it read "pair"!!!! No 30 is not fair lol
  15. I would of thought £20 a pair would be ok. It's just depends, are they proven workers? How old etc...
  16. Ive had a kept a jill polecat and a sandy jill together and the polecat was mental!!
  17. Just re-read the whole thing and can't see a single part where anyone was having a pop at you. Whoops, must be that time of the month!!
  18. Did i say in any part of my post that I was trying to hit them... The were startled and ran under my car, I am not one of these people that would swerve and try to hit something!! And I wasnt going to have the rabbits lay there and suffer I put them out of there missery as soon as I picked them up. Harmless Post!!!
  19. Dont get me wrong im the same, but hey no point in leaving them there!!
  20. Was driving home from work this morning and decided to take the country route home, as I turned on to the back road home I seen 4 rabbit sitting on the middle of the road. When I was getting closer I thought they were just going to bolt but 2 of them ran my direction and straight under the car, I got out and they were riggling about and seemed to be clean hit so I got the plastic bag and rung there necks. Then as I went to drive off I spotted another lying by the ditch in shock. So I think ive done pretty well without a ferret or a gun in sight! 3 in the bag, good eating for the ferrets an
