I have a Polecat hob (J McKay bred) acquired after being misinformed on how hot they really are, I am not the right person for this animal as cannot spend the time and lack the experience required with him, so he needs a new more suitable home.

 

Ideally swap for 2 young poley jill ferts.

 

Bedfordshire.

 

What exactly cant you give this ferret that you can give 2 young jills , do you mean its unhandleable ?

It would help if this chap outlined the issues he is having with said ferret, all some folks will see is european polecat & think dark, regardless of the fact its almost probably unhandleble & will no doubt end up being in its 4th or 5th home by next spring before someone has it who knows how to deal with it

Was this one of the ferrets from that woman up north , the one who also breeds angora ferrets ?

[Guest lavyheed]

Any chance of a picture?

 

As festa mentioned can you give a little more info on it?age etc Is it is temperament that is putting you off?

 

Angora ferrets!! I wondered how long it would take to see ads/breeders for these things in the Uk!

Ok here we go,

 

I have kept and worked ferrets for several years, I handle all my animals every day but due to work/ family commitments etc only for a very limited time.

 

The opportunity came up to take this Polecat and I made a snap judgement without the information of the handling time Polecats require.

 

Yes I find the animal difficult to handle, unlike any ferret I have experienced which is why he requires rehoming after a very short period with me.

 

The easy way would be to ignore my mistake and keep the animal in an unsuitable home, that way I would have avoided judgemental comments in a public forum, but the animal deserves a home which has the experience and time he requires.

 

Would you be happier if I had not posted and the animal be culled or worse kept in an unsuitable home?

Put in Angora ferrets in the search box on here you will pull allsorts up, a woman who comes on here breeds them & these polecat things

What you really mean is it bites & behaves like a ball of fury when you try to do anything with it , spits , hisses & is generally antisocial ?

 

Is there no chance that McKay wont have the animal back, i think most breeders like to keep in touch with people who buy from them

You related to my missus?

 

What I mean is he is a polecat and behaves like a polecat (something I was unaware of when I acquired him), no hissing or spitting but antisocial I will give you. Im not looking to fob him off on some unsuspecting owner, you have a suspicious mind Kay.
