dogger 100 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 £5 each is what i charge no matter what colour or sex Quote Link to post
GreyRake 108 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 £10 per ferret max. Quote Link to post
pie-eater 377 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 £10 seems to be the usual price. I don't think its unreasonable though considering the amount growing kits eat. Quote Link to post
thenetter 37 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 I dont sell ferrets,but anything under ten pounds does'nt give the buyer the determination to look after it . Why should he if he can just buy another one for say a fiver. If he gets fed up with it ,he can just dump it. Charge more and most people will look after them. Sorry for all the genuine ferreters out there, but we all know there's alot of cowboys out there. 2 Quote Link to post
The one 8,397 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Never charged for a ferret like to think i help folk giving them what could be a good working ferret with time and effort spent on it , And maybe if circumstances where different they would help me out 2 Quote Link to post
onthehunt 40 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) How much should I be looking at spending for 2 Jill ferrets, just wondering if people are just being greedy, thanks gaz Prices can vary hugely from £15 to £35. that's the difference I've paid in the past eg my current 10 week old kit cost me £30 Edited June 10, 2013 by onthehunt Quote Link to post

onthehunt 40 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Anyone charging £30 for a kit is breeding for the wrong reasons I found out later that his other silver and sandy kits were £15 though but because mine is polecat colour I was charged more. he had the colours I wanted and I happened to be in the area at the time.

I dont see the logic. Polecat is a common colour so why would you pay more for it? 1 Quote Link to post

The fact that the breeder was charging more for a polecat coloured fert would have been enough for me to have said no thanks (in any colour) I haven't bred this year,but when I did the last litter (polecats,silvers ,sandies and albinos)were either gifted to friends or £10 to anyone else to cover food etc.Not knocking you pal,your money ,your choice Quote Link to post

Never paid for or sold a ferret...always free to lads who'll graft them ...but if you turn up to get them and I think you're an idiot...you're going home without them...seems fair eh??? http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/290366-ferret-kitsfree-to-lads-wholl-graft-them/ 3 Quote Link to post
