Glad im not the only one in the 'my dog eats its own shit' club. f***ing disgusting but i have tried everything and she still does it. Dirty bugger!!!!!
Here is 100ml and the 250ml. I have both but the 100ml will last a while for the ferrets as you only need 2/3 sprays and then rub it in.
100ml ----http://www.amazon.co.uk/Frontline-Spray-Small-100ml-Flea/dp/B00AO1W5ZI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369913001&sr=8-1&keywords=frontline+spray
250ml---http://www.amazon.co.uk/MERIAL-004FLS-250ML-Frontline-Spray%252c-8-5/dp/B00BWTH5G0/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1369913024&sr=8-18&keywords=frontline+spray
***note the p+p on the 250ml as it comes from the US
Does anybody use rice in their mixes to bulk it out. Read a couple of recipes online with it in and some with it not??
At the minute I mix about 5lb beef/chicken mince, 5lb tripe, carrots and greens. Then add in wings, lamb bones, turkey necks that they get as well to chew on. This is for terriers only.
Funnily enough mate, I'm going over on Monday. Looking forward to it and been told Monday is more prominent for the terriers so going to pop down, only 45 min from me
After a new terrier to join my other dog and really like the look of the plummers. They seem to fit the bill for what I need, ratting, bushing, rabbiting etc. The only problem I am having is finding a good breeder, with good working lines around the North East or even further. Terriers are a fairly new thing for me, having only really got into them over the last 1/2 years and as a result don't really know who too avoid and who to too trust. I know there will be a few lads on here with plummers in particular and thought you might be able to point me in the right direction.

I just stick to the bulldog spade and the little roughneck(I think it's called that) perfect for the ground I ferret and both easy to carry, which is a must as we do a lot of walking on our permissions
Went this morning, unfortunately we had ALOT of rain last night and everywhere is flooded, beck is 3ft up etc, dog had a sniff nothing there so came home lol. Will go back down next week and see what the craic is.
Paulus, I did think about that as I came across water voles when searching the Internet for the innards of a rat burrow etc, definitely think its a rat, as these 2 holes are out in the open, are quite jagged looking and not neat like a water voles are supposed to be, I will definitely look closer next time I'm out, don't want to be digging up a voles habitat if that's what it is.

Mick, thats the thing, i don't know if these are the only 2 holes or if there is more on the beck side of the bank. Thinking back, when we went past and she showed an interest, she showed the signs she does when marking rabbits, nose right down the hole, tail wagging and after a while she starts a low crying if i don't do anything. After i had investigated we walked on, when we came back she sniffed again but showed no interest, which to me indicates either the rat had came out the holes we seen once we had gone or it had slipped out of the other side. Going to pop down first thin
Yeah both me and the dogs have been after rats, but it was in farm barns with the rats running around freely, as apposed to flushing them out of their burrows with a smoker etc. I have a strimmer motor here that i was going to try and use as a smoker but haven't got round to sorting it out yet, so might get that up and running tomorrow and then go out later on the night.
Out with the terrier earlier and she marked what appears to be two rat holes. They were on the edge of a farmers field, that leads down to a beck. I could only see the two holes and they were about about 2 foot apart, as the vegetation is very thick I couldn't see anymore. Going to go back early in the morning with a spade and see if I can dig to it. What's the odds of these being the only holes? Having never gone after rats I don't have a clue what there burrows are like?
Can anybody recommend a company/person who will be able to tune my rifle up, at an affordable price. Been searching the Internet but haven't found anything as of yet. I'm sure I've read on here about a bloke who does them, 'Tom/tony??
