I would introduce the noise from a distance first I have used this method on young dogs if you dont have a blank pistol use a party popper. prepare your dogs meal in its dish have your helper stand a good distance away and fire the party popper and imedatly feed the dog. If the dog re acts negatively a big no no is for you to make a fuss or try to re assure the dog if you react the dog will think there is something wrong just try again the next meal time but ask your helper to go a further distance with time and patience things should improve

Hi guys bought xeno 450 (ivermectin ) from my vets for prevention of internal and external parasites, on the data sheet it says for for ferrets over 800gram. My older jills are above that. But I have 2 kits 12 weeks old weighing aprox 550grams so is there anything else you can reccomend for the youngsters cheers steve

Any small magnet will do if you cant find the little black one if you go to marshall .com who do telemetry they sell a tap and go magnet for turning transmitters on and off for falconry come on a key ring superb thats what I use if you get stuck pm me

Go out with someone main thing is be patient its not rocket sciance but takes time make sure you have land before getting any type of hawk
-
100% agree with pointer get some great flights flying at rabbits the odd duck and pheasent no need to put your hawk at risk flying at unsuitable quarry . I normaly only let my hawk hunt from fist not let them self hunt around the woods

Iam surprised one of the telemetry companies have not made 1 for ferrets they do tracking collers for dogs as well as transmitters for b.o.p.

Well what a difference 48 hours makes handled them yesterday 4 times put them in box in the house gave them a chicken wing and stroked them while eating. After they had eaten just picked them up put back down and picked up again did this for 15 minutes each time. Did same again today had no bitting at all still a little nervous when hand goes to pick them up for 1st time they obviously wriggle around but seems like I am on the right track anymore tips guys do you think 4 to 5 10 to 15 minutes is enough to get them really tame .? Cheers

Thanks guys I was thinking of handling after around 24 hours just did not want to jump in to early and undo the breeders good work advice much apreciated

Would appreciate some advice please just bought 2 kits 9 weeks old. While at the breeders house we held stroked both kits for a while you could see they had been well handled and in good health and conditions they was kept in was brilliant. We arrived home and has expected they were very nervous and taking them out of the transport box one screamed and went and bit in fear.poor things such a big change for them. Reading the books ive bought there is Conflicting veiws on a settling in period before handling again. After being introduced to a new enviroment Whats your veiws guys
