  1. I got quoted between £160 and £380 in Plymouth went with the £160 they phoned me and said “we have put your ferret under and now shaved the area and found he has one big ball” I said that’s handy is that half price ? they said “no same price but if we do it he has one ball inside probably producing semen if you want that one doing it’s around £800” needless to say he came back with his balls intact and his bikini line shaved and they charged me £75 for a pube shave and anesthetic
  2. Hello chid been a few years I don’t get on here from one year to the next , but popped on yesterday tried to leave a reply. Rio was a half brother to Remus same sire (bull) he was a good all rounder but no good with stock of any kind. Remus and Rio were bred and owned by HBG , Both dogs were kept and brought on by HBG who eventually chose Remus over Rio which is how Rio ended up down here. (Rios now dead) I was impressed by Rio, but heard Remus was the better dog . Remus was bred to Rio’s litter sister half brother half sister mating I had to have one I had a b
  3. No problem only had 1 spare which I will keep now cheers
  4. These ferrets are ready next week
  5. Well what a week ferrets are 6 weeks old started the kits on raw meat same I feed my dog after a few days kits started dieing 2-3 a day turns out the raw beef was recalled due to salmonella stopped the raw and the rest survived lost 10 kits fuming 9 left though but such a shame never heard of this before
  6. I’m in Plymouth got some micros and half micros
  7. Got 19 kits here , but in Devon if you can get here you can have a couple
  8. Some of these micros are ridiculously small , size of weasel weigh 150g really strange to see , not much good for working at that size. ones I keep are all working well. there larger end of the micro and weigh between 450-650grams size wise they are between a stoat size and a small standard Jill size ferret. the micro x standards are not much different than pure micro in weight but look longer and thinner imo , the best working female I have is a micro x standard she weighs about 580g Best male I have is s pure micro .
  9. I will have micro litter and micro cross litter this season looks like both are pregnant due next couple of weeks good workers had a great season with them if you can get to Devon your welcome to 1 from each litter , once we have picked what we are keeping
  10. Nice to get out Hardley anything bolting plenty of digging and lots of young ones and does that’s me done for the season . really enjoyed this season nice getting back into hunting again concentrate on training the pup and breeding the ferrets and bit of shooting now
  11. Lots of pregnant does today and young. Have one more day tomorrow as I’ve promised it I think that’s me then packed up for the season
  12. Had lots of young rabbits today , I was gonna pack up for the season but got to do these other fields so a couple more weekends that’s me done
  13. My Jill’s came in Feb last year hoping they hold off a bit longer this year . working them this weekend after that think I’ll try leave it as long as possible as mine are out in the run together in the day put em away in the night . I reckon I got two weeks tops before the Jill’s are in and I have to separate
  14. I think the real small ones would struggle I used a large end micro 500g he covered a few standards last year no problem half micros are just like a small standards shouldn’t be a problem at all I bred some half micros last year cracking ferrets out performed my standards easily.
  15. My Hobs are well in season won’t be long before the Jill’s are in too seems earlier each year
  16. I have 8 ferrets all workers from 450g up to 1.3kg prefer 550-700g they bolt rabbits well are extremely fast walk through the nets and not much digging
  17. I’m in the west country and if anything I’ve seen an increase in rabbits over the last few years in 90% of the places we go. one bit of permission is completely devoid of rabbits not sure if it’s been hit by this or just completely played out as everyone has permission there but this is the only year I’ve seen nothing.
  18. I have had ferrets off and on was never massively into it like some always had standards got back into them 3ish years ago had the smaller ones for a year and kits this year I really like em and they have been doing ok Gonna be doing a fair bit with them this year so I’ll let you know how they get on
  19. There seems to be a debate on what an actual micro is on the micro forums but I’ve seen some like hamsters weighing 150grams I swapped one for one of my kits and it was tiny the other ferrets tried to kill it on sight . I gave it back to the breeder .( it was the size of a 6 week old kit at 6 months) it had no prey drive or natural drive to go into tunnels tubes or dig weird. that said I’ve got some larger types that work very well they are around 400-500 grams bolt rabbits well walk right through the nets half micros are lively type like the old fitchy or weasel ferrets around 500
