bunny killer 19 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 why is everyone advertising european polecats when in fact they have polecat coloured ferrets,,there is no such thing as a black european polecat without a cream or light coloured muzzle,they are simply show coloured ferrets,never have i bred or even seen in the wild a pure black polecat without a cream muzzle,,they have dark tips to the fur with ginger underneath with a cream to yellowish muzzle..,as for ferreting my true wild hob and even one of my jills can never be placed on the floor,handled yes but still being nervous of humans even after a number of years would be useless out in the field,,so why breed from such an animal everyone asks. simply this for the young one to be ready for ferreting you have to breed the true wild or european hob out to a domestic working jill,,last year i crossed my wild hob to my working jills the litters have been worked by numerous boys and work well,,i have first and second generations which have been excellent on rabbit,,they lose the nervousness carried from the true wild hob down the line of generations but will carry the fiery genes,,i have bred and worked polecats and ferrets for 40yrs or so,,and many guys still carry my strain of polecat in south wales,,,very rarely will you come upon true wild polecats in the wild unless trapped or run over,they are very nervous of humans,,they are not like mink,which will come up to you,,so dont rip people off by advertising european polecats when you know damn well they are polecat colours or show coloured ferrets......theres lots of youngsters on here , ,,anyone wanting to see my polecats are welcome,,,pm me 2 Link to post
