Ready in in 3 weeks
-
I’m in Plymouth got some micros and half micros
-
Got 19 kits here , but in Devon if you can get here you can have a couple
-
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 .

-
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
-
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
-
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.
-
My Hobs are well in season won’t be long before the Jill’s are in too seems earlier each year
-
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
-
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.

EBay

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
-
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

the two under theborder are fledged and strong all the chicks outside our dead! this hen really has not got the jist of this . I had a chat with the daughter and she was in agreement to get rid of the border xs we bred and another troublesome hen and buy in som thing we want .so had a bit of a clear out and bought in a pair of silver, agate opels , satinatte silver brown hen,gold mosiac hen and a cinimon hen. Canary wise I would like a trio of red mosiacs and a pair of gold mosiacs to go with my hen. and a satinette brown cock. that will be me ready for next year then
-
both of the black hooded variety . I met a very knowledgable man the other day who had been doing variuos hybreds for years and has crossed these two types and the cock was a couple years old and very bright orange and slieghtly heavyier in build hes proved fertile as hes gone back to a yellow to produce four young birds with very nice markings cant wait to see them mature.

Tuffty there fine still feeding each other and still fighting but no sign of breeding . I took the last of the eggs out of a pair off fifes and put them under my border whos a good mum shes hatched them out and everything else is in the flight but the pair of fifes have gone down this week in an old nest and laid 4 more eggs thats there 4th round! she threw 1st lot out hatched 2 lot but left them after a week and 3rd lot put under border so shes no outside filled with other birds around her dont hold much hope just let her go shes sitting hes feeding they could surprise me.oh and the egg eater
