Some are fair in the first year and very quickly become killers,, not good. A lot of ferrets will never be any good. Different folk have different ideas on what a good ferret is so there should be different opinions on this one. This is mine,for what it is worth.P1 Quote Link to post
The one 8,592 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I reckon a ferrets got to be in its second year to even be classed as a worker and about three years onward you will get a good grafting ferret Quote Link to post

Stripe 0 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 imo A ferret reaches its peak in its 2nd and 3rd working season after which it starts to slow down. Remember, a good ferret can always get better, but a shit ferret will always be shit so dont breed off it Quote Link to post
