spartan_ferret 6 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 ok well ive got 2 jills and 1 hob and they escaped but i've got the two jills back but the hob i think is under the next door's shed which has a chicken pen next to it. I think his there cos thats where the other two were when i found them, so what i've done is left the carrier box there with some clothes what they sleep on and in and placed some food in there aswell. So whats the chances of him going to it? what have other people done to get the ferrets back? (thank f%uck our two terriers were out or i would of found the ferrets, in pieces) Quote Link to post
BunnyBolter 16 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 natural instincts will tell the crafty bugger to stay where the chickens are , keep an eye and you may spot him , atb and i hope you het him back . Quote Link to post
BenjaminCadd 109 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 yeah hes more likely to head for the chickens! Quote Link to post
simonrocco 175 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 if you can get hold of a mink trap set it near the chickens put a bit of meat in it and you should get him if he's still about. hope you get him back atb Quote Link to post
spartan_ferret 6 Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 cheers lads hope i get him back but least i still got two jill better then losing all. i was sitting in the kitchen having a drink and i saw the little twat at the end of the garden run along the path but by the time i got there he was gone, im sure he will be back. like i said theres a chicken pen next door but there is also a a bird aviary on the other side of the garden, so the little bugger is probbling having a field day Quote Link to post

BunnyBolter 16 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 leave a skinned rabbit at the end of the garden on a fishing line and lure him in and then catch the little bugger , you'll have to get him away from all those birds though atb on getting your old boy back Quote Link to post

B.P.R 2,798 Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Probably about the same amount of acres as your belly? Just kidding! Quote Link to post
muddy210 34 Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 live catch traps is the best way cover it over with some wood and get some rabbit in there if hes still about it might work. Quote Link to post
Country Joe 1,411 Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 I would also go with the catch alive trap, once he is in, he aint going nowhere. Quote Link to post
Coffee Table 43 Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Seems like you could well be on the recieving end of a bill for them chickens. Hope you get them back mate, it's never good losing an animal! Richard Quote Link to post
The one 8,594 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 See if you can put one of your jills under next doors shed and he might follow her out ?. Quote Link to post
spartan_ferret 6 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Cheers lads i got him back now. found him trying to get into the chicken pen Quote Link to post
rob190364 2,594 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 might be worth investing in a mink trap in case it happens again? Quote Link to post
