Hello all. Tested one of the young hob kits out yesterday. I tried one of the Jill kits last week and she was a natural, Straight down and rolling around with a bunny in the net after 5 mins and all fired up for some more etc. Yesterday I took one of the hobs out to see how it performed. 1st warren he was a little hesitant about going down into the dark depths .... but he went in and came out nice and steady with no drama and no bolts.I put the older hob in to check and it was empty. Next Warren, A good mark off the dogs and I put him in behind the older hob, He foll

Lush morning for ferreting. The little dog did her bit and one of the new ferrets from this years litter proved useful. My netting left a lot to be desired though. 3 got away. Still, one for the ferrets, one for the dog, one for the slow cooker and one for the freezer

I've got 8 kits free to a good home. All of the people who wanted some from my litter have backed out. 4 silver and 4 white hobs. The mother has been a cracking little worker this past year, can't say much for her line as she was given to my mate as a freebie. The father was the best worker I've ever had and I've had his line since his great grandfather. I'd love to keep em all but definitely far too many! 9 weeks old, eating anything I catch. Free to a good home. If anyone is interested give me a message. Im in the gateshead area. I'll upload pics tomorrow

Just got back off holiday mother in law looked after them for me and they was happy I was back. Cracking ferrets best 3 ever had .. they will do me proud again this winter when we're out. Good around the family too apart from the wife grumbling about the stink!!!! As she calls it. Both me boys love them and this proves they become part of the family as well as good little workers

Hello, i’m super exited, just received my ferret wallet phone case.

I lined my mates jill this season with my hob, and before the kits were born a lurcher got a hold of him and he had to be put down. I got the brother of the jill as a replacement to work with. The kits are ready to come home to me now, and i was wondering whether it would be ok to put them with the hob eventually. Ive got a big set up for them and a smaller hutch to put the hob in for the time being so they can get used to the smell of each other but eventually i want them all together. How old will the kits have to be before i put them in with him? They are currently 9 weeks. Cheers

My kits recently turned 10 weeks an they’re still nipping. I’ve been trying to stop them from nipping for a couple weeks now but nothing seems to work. I’ve tried the time out, scruffing an putting milk on my finger but nothings working! Any tips or stories how you got yours to stop nipping, please tell. Thanks

Hello all. I've just been kicked off a Facebook site for arguing the present day value of a ferret with the site admins etc. I know this site has a few more educated, older, wiser and genuine hunting members. My point of view is... why sell a well bred working strain/line of ferret kit to a random stranger for £5-10 pounds? It's all well and good doing mates favours and gifting them to each other to keep the bloodlines varied within working lines etc. But £10 ... it's not the value of a packet of cigarettes etc.. how can that do the humble little warriors any justice

Well yesterday i was on a late in work so dogs were walked an ferrets fed. Home just after 8 and let dogs out and get their grub ready, then sit back with a brew before feeding em. We (me and the Mrs) both heard the noise but couldnt work out what it was, as it was muffled by the telly. Then another but this time different. I got up to investigate and went out the back, soon as i opened the door both dogs shot back in their seperate pens, sommat was up..? Then a white flash out the corner of my eye and a ferret was out.! The noise came to me... A Fenn going off... My trap, always ready, in

Does anyone else work a springer spaniel out ferreting? Saturdays in the eating line, Sundays in the hedgerow with the ferrets. -
As a lot of us are aware this year has seen a drop in numbers for the ferreter. So its sods law that i have picked up 2 new permissions today and yesterday just as we are coming to the end of the season. One is a 5 acre paddock with 3 good active warrens on it and the digging will be ok, it is also surrounded by land so further opportunities are very possible once i am noticed. The other is a plant nursery with a huge wooded bank that is like the london underground, this could be a very productive perm by this seasons standards but the digging will be most unfavourable. I will work them h

Well out on Friday with the ferrets what along day ! .Had to check out three new plantations that I cleared back in NOV. Owner thinks rabbits are still getting past the netting .So had a look but no signs of damage but he's the boss so spent best part of the day netting up for nowt .Lost me little lakey cross last year she was good company when out and about if she marked a set it was occupied if not we moved on saved a lot of time . Anyway did a couple of hedges ended up with 4 .plus two rats with the shovel would have been more if pip had been still with me. Cant get another terrier ye

Hey my names Markus, I'm 21 and live at a 16 acre farm in Manchester England. I have a small digger coming up next week and while its here i was thinking of creating an artificial rabbit warren for the mental stimulation and training of ferret kits. I have 2 questions really. Firstly, Do you think i would benefit from an artificial warren to train my ferrets? It would give me all the space and time i want but who's to say it will really make a difference in the skill of my ferrets in the long run? Is it a project worth trying out? Secondly, if so, Do any of you know of any informa
