Cruel Bast*rds

Over here, young ferrets fetch 20 to 35 euro each in the summer. Most i have come across, seem to keep them well, but not too well hadled at times.

 

I hadle mine daily, spend time talking to them ect, its amazing how they get to know your voice and come running when they here it.

To be honest the rescue i support tell me 90% of ferrets handed in are from pet homes & kiddies pets

they have had over a hundred kits in this yr alone as well as adults

 

I think its right about not breeding every breedable jill every yr, infact why breed any of your jills if you dont need new stock, there are a few ways of keeping them healthy .

 

Its such a refreshing change to read such comments like i read on here & i will say you working lads put a lot of the show fraternity to shame on your ferret housing & general common sence approach to keeping ferrets

 

I have read some laughable posts on other forums from showey types , there only interested in the ferrets as long as there winning

who said they were from working homes anyway? who knows where they come from

 

where i am from there is rarely ferrets in the paper for more then a few weeks, it seems they dont breed huge numbers here like over there.

 

and they cost a hell of a lot more over here, from $50-100 each

I dont think people breed ferrets to make money as if you do it properly the kits eat you out of house & home and its always nice if homes are found before they are mated, but i know from experience that by late june the rescues start to fill up with unwanted kits .

 

no amount of education will stop some people from breeding ferrets even if they arent in a possision to offer them a correct diet & housing, then when the kits start to bite they dont bother at all & then either kill them or dump them.

 

i think generally ferrets have a very low monetery value if you like , you can pick them up for a couple of quid, but there again you can pay a grand for a dog and neglect it,

 

My last two ferrets lived to ages 9 & 10 & died of old age last yr, they ment no less to me once they had become old

One point no one's picked up on here are the devious b*stards who pop up wanting to buy ferrets, every year, as soon as it gets a bit colder .....

 

Ask yeself, before Ever dreaming of entertaining such as these; What the f*ck happened to the ferrets they used last winter, and the winters before that?

 

We all know damn well; Any youngster looking for his first ferret will be after a kit. And he'll soon have as many as he can handle. Why would a grown man be searching for stock at the on set of winter? What will he do with them, once the working season's over???
