terrier racing :11: a lot better than shows and all that poncing about , a lot better to see them tearing after a rag and then tearing into each other :whistle:

15 out of one warren, with only the one jill ferret that was when i popped out for an hour or two, i was back home (after taking the rabbits to the butchers) and eating my lunch by 12 :11: :whistle:

the most important thing is getting them very tame and used to being picked up in different situations, used to your feet, etc... playing in pipes is good, (well it doesn't hurt) and if you can cover the end of the pipe with a net (to get them used to nets and walking through the meshes rather than pulling the net down) all the better then when it is time to hunt rabbits with them, try with a small warren, net up and enter them on a nice easy hole that slopes upwards gently (dont drop them down a vertical hole on the first few times out ) allow them time to explore and work things out

Its true Fellman does have a different jacket
COMPO replied to a topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
:11: JUST READ THIS THREAD I dont know fellman, but he seems a laugh, that jacket and that pic of him in the hole have been everywhere :wacko: :11: my question is if he is so afraid of digging , how has he got mud on his clothes? or is he just a dirty b*****d who doesn't change?? -
well done

Mostly grass pasture land,quiet a few open warrens a few in hedges/fence lines and a little bit of woodland :whistle: I am lucky as 3 of 5 farms i ferret are equestrian places so they only have grass fields, one is a very small place with two grass fields (they rent these to someone who grazes sheep) and has a small (but rabbit infested) wood and the other is a 50acre sheep farm (again mostly open grass fields with a few hedges and a nice clear strip of woodland) . the 50 acre sheep farm has the most difficult hedges etc...but even this is a breeze compared to some of the rubb

i use Hull special pigeon, 32gm of 6's and/or Rio 30gm of 6's for rabbits and pigeons etc.... I have Hull Ultramax 42gm of BB's that i use for foxes i also have a load of other cartridges ( i like a variety) 3.5 inch remington sportsman BB steel carts (geese/ducks) ,Lyalvale 36gm of SG and AAA (for muntjac/foxes/burglars) i have some number 4's in 36gm Lyalvale carts , the bloke at the gun shop sold me them when i asked for something to use on foxes, although i dont think they penetrate enough so have used them on crows and squirrels and bought the BB's/AAA's/SG's for bigger stuff

I have caught sandies like in Ian's pic , also blacks and blue rabbits but never white ones, when the first blue rabbit hit the net i thought it was a fecking cat :11: i have found the colours do crop up in certain areas(closed gene pool thing i reckon like has been mentioned) i have a few farms that adjoin each other that often throw up blue rabbits (i have put pics up on smoochers before) and when i lived up north i had a farm that had one particular wood that threw loads of black's, the wood was not very big and the whole floor was one big rabbit warren under brambles etc.. and ev

He has had the snip So when will i know to put them back together again, just keep trying him? MOLL. :11: HE'S SNIPPED :11: sorry i thought he was the father of the kits :wacko: my snipped hob lives with 5 jills, and as and when they come into season he takes them out , anyway i have seperated one jill, as she is getting cut up round the neck/ears now i aint sure if its the other jills dragging her about or whether she is his favourite just wait till it starts to cool down a bit and his nuts starts to shrink back up, as his nuts shrink so will his libido :11:

you have to take the ladies leg out of them first

i would seperate them, it is not unknown for jills to come back in season and the last thing you want is a litter of kits in september :11: besides he could injure her

Saxon i used to breed rabbits, english butterflies and new zealand whites. (one half of the garden was rabbit hutches and the ferrets were opposite looking menacingly at the bunnies :11: ) rabbit mothers are notoriously bad (some reckon that's why they breed so prolifically cos the chances of them reaching adulthood is slim) i found a lot of doe's lost part or all of there first (and occasionally second) litter, you dont want to be disturbing them , unless you absolutely have to as smell can stop the mother from feeding them, a lot of breeders rub their hands in the rabbit's shite firs

Bullsmilk, I take it you mean rats are mammals also ?? Of course you are right, but read the "Hunting Act, 2004" and you will find that the hunting of ALL mammals with dogs is banned, with the exception of rats and rabbits, subject to certain restrictions, (i.e., you must have permission), please don't any one reply saying I'm wrong, as the act is such a f**k up, even human rights lawers are having a hard time interpreting it. (and I tend to totally ignore it, anyway.). Cheers. what's the hunting act?? hunting's banned? :11: :11: :11:

:11: thats all around where i grew up my best mate from school lived at Ulleskelf, i think his Mam still lives there, i may have to give him a bell :ph34r: seriously though that aint the first big cat sighting around there , there was a big cat (described like a puma/mountain lion) near Hazelwood Castle (now a hotel used to be a monastery) and the A64, about 15 years ago, it was seen by several different people around that area and Aberford it really is rural in area's around there and you can still walk for hours there without seeing anyone, there is also a few large woods with a

I have thought about this myself, i have thought that when its hot they cant get water quick enough, the tray/bowl is useful but does get sawdust/crap etc...in i have found though the bigger the bottle (and hence the spout) the quicker they can get a gob full, i change the water every day, check the spouts and also have three bottles for 5 ferrets (on the one large communal hutch) I may get a deep high sided tray and use Molly's idea :wacko:
