Joe67 239 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) Ive been searching about for ferreting gear and maybe 1-2 ferrets. Ive been speaking to someone who has offered me a hutch,carrying box(holds 3 ferrets),30 nets and 2 polecats(18 month old) 1 jill(7 month old) the owner says they are tame and good workers,all that for for £35,i was seriously considering this but found out none of them have been neutered,and from seeing posts on here i know the jill will be in season soon if she isnt already,so theres a good chance ill end up with more than three ferrets if the jill can go into season at 7 month? So what do yous think,pass on this offer because its to much for someone just starting out,or give them a home and maybe some of you would take kits if the jill ends up...Id also be willing to give hunting life members 1-2 of these ferrets were it be a polecat or the jill Edited February 28, 2011 by Joe67 Quote Link to post

lksopener 105 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 That's a bargain fella the nets and box are worth more than that and that's excluding the hutch and other bits and bobs. Liam Quote Link to post
