I have often wondered about the feral ferrets living in places where they have been for a long time and would have been from good working stock before people bred for looks over ability, to me they would be the ones to breed from instead of all this silly eu wild poleys people are using now.
Some people have older parents too, my baby is 2 this month so I'll be knocking on by the time she's 30. My dad was 72 when he died a couple of years ago.
A girl I knew in her early 30s died at Christmas leaving 3 young kids behind and had only been diagnosed with the big C a few weeks earlier.
I was talking to someone earlier and the plaster mixing drill I pinched off him when I was a kid is about 30 year old now. I'm very quickly approaching 40 and it's all meant to be downhill afterwards isn't it but that started years ago. The worst part about the age I am now is everyone losing parents left right and centre.
I remember the place I did my work experience from school the woman there had been bitten by a green iguana and that looked sore like a human had bitten here.
You wouldn't say that if it was sprinting up your arm towards your face ?
I had goliaths, red knees, salmon pinks, Indian ornamental etc and that's the only one that scared me. My favourite was Psalmopeus irminia.
My first spider was a Chile rose (grammastola spatulata) and I've had a load since then up until having kids. I was bitten by that first one which was scary as a kid but the scariest I had was a cobalt blue run up my arm.
I fed an adult frog to the Chile rose but stuck to crickets etc after that ?
Could you lift the flags on that wall and reset them at an angle to the water doesn't splash back on the render? Also possibly run a grinder along the underside so there's a drip like the underside of a stone windowsill?
I'd do as mushroom suggested but also on the bottom picture it looks like someone has rendered right down to the floor which is a bad idea there should be a gap at the bottom.
Catching 4 of the last 7 rabbits on a place ain't gonna help them either is it. Rather than working hard to find them and catching the last few survivors I've left them alone locally, tried boosting the numbers a bit too which I don't think worked but you never know unless you try.
Probably the most expensive bait you could use too, we had em a lot as kids but there's no way on earth we would have if they were the price they are now. We used to get them in the shells as they were cheaper and sit shilling them, only because my dad was a tight bugger.
