[Housing Ferrets Together]

To be honest I can't see it being a problem over the winter. It's when they come into season the trouble starts.

[Purse Net Carry Bag]

We used the old cloth cash bags you used to get. 10 nets in every bag. Count them up after every bury. Hardly lost any nets. But each to there own

[Hello From The Midlands]

Yeah them posts are probably true to be honest. You're not missing much.

[Hello From The Midlands]

Yeah he's the one who wrote all the books.

[Hello From The Midlands]

I'm from Nuneaton too. Do you know John Glover?

[28 G]

I've been looking at these myself. But I'm torn between these and a 20 bore. I've never shot either of these so any help would be appreciated

[Ferret Bedding]

Shavings and shredded paper for me. Always got told not to use hay or straw.

[Double Cab Pick Up]

I've just got a Ranger. I work in a Ford garage and the only ones we see are the ones that haven't been serviced right. Stick to regular servicing and there a good motor

[Good Read Poaching Books]

As I walk by night is another good poaching book.

[Hi How Old Does A Ferret Have To Be Before You Can Start Working It]

6 months is when i would start working them but only on easy buries. They won't learn anything sat in the hutch at home.

[Midlands]

I'm going on the Sunday. Not been for a few years so be good to go

[Mk1 Vs Mk3 Finder]

I don't know if there is any real difference between a mark 1 and a mark 2. I thought it was just the picture on the front of the finder.

 

I've never used a mark 3 so not really able to comment personally but I know people sold there mark 1&2 finders for mark 3s then wanted there old finders back.

 

Personally I like the old finders maybe it's just because it was what I learnt to ferret with and I don't like change. I'd be interested to see what people think.

[Working Bedlingtons]

Glover and his clique .

Lol I'm related to him.

[How Old Is Too Old? (Ferreting In Lancashire)]

As long as you've got a collar and finder don't worry about loosing them. You ll find that till they get the hang of things they ll keep showing anyway.

[future workers]

My first working terrier. She s 6 months old Saturday. Looking forward to see how she gets on

[How Old Is Too Old? (Ferreting In Lancashire)]

I wouldn't have thought they were too old. There's only one way to find out and get them down a hole. They won't learn anything sitting in the pen. All the best for the coming season.

[Jill Is Getting Too Skinny...]

I'd have to disagree with you dogger. I know ferrets are lactose intolerant but my 2 previous ferrets had cows milk for years without any effects on them.

[Surprises When Digging]

Once had rat in a stop end and had stoats bolt, also once a little owl fly out, that's about it.

 

Heard of people bolting foxes but never seen it myself

I've bolted a fox before. Surprising how quick you move when you've got your arm down a hole and it's tangled up in the net on the next hole a couple of foot away.

[Repairing A Net]

Will do thank you

[Repairing A Net]

I'm a bit of a novice in net making and I'm wondering what's the easiest and best way to repair some holes in a nylon longnet. Many thanks Ryan.

[My Pups Diet]

I agree with Stretch and Sweeney. I was taught that when they were pups just keep there bowl full till they were roughly 6 months then start cutting them down. As Sweeney says you get the weight back off them when the season starts

[New Guy Here]

I kept fife canaries and British when I was a kid. Used to show them around the midlands

[New Guy Here]

Thanks all. robskiing what type of hunting do you do

[Chan Pen Strep]

I agree with russ. Years ago when I worked terriers with my uncle we found that after a while giving them jabs actually made it take longer to heal. We started just cleaning them with savlon and after a few days if it wasn't looking like it was healing right we then give them a jab.

[New Guy Here]

Thanks for the offer onion you never know do you.
