pie-eater 377 Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Why do you buy a ferret from a market?? Not everybody has friends with ferrets.... Or is willing to pay daft prices on gumtree.... Its irrelevant anyway... Not true that folk on Gumtree are just out to fleece you, its just a way of selling your stock AND they are sometimes given away free on these sites. Practically every ferret bought from a market has some kind of behavioural or other problem which I've witnessed and had to be passed onto a rescue or the like. if you know otherwise, then please be civil with replies and that goes for everyone lol I got my first ferret from the livestock market in Sevenoaks Kent 21 years ago and she was a nice animal maybe I just got lucky.

pie-eater 377 Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 No aimed at anybody im just interest , i reckon on doing the ground work when there kits during the summer and although my hands and arms look like im a self harmer during the summer ive never gone down the road of washing my hands in anything . So do I but these were near full grown kits that had never been handled by the breeder and the b a stopped them biting within a few days. Quote Link to post
Karl Daw 14 Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 That sounds interesting, where would i get it from? A bit bottle of it from the vets , do not get the bitter cherry spray it doesn't work . Quote Link to post

Your right but if you do get one off someone that doesn't do the work then you have to do this mate. Quote Link to post

I personally wouldnt get mine from there.... Gumtree is just another medium to sell things...same as preloved.... epupz...pets4homes....livestock markets.... the CMW....etc etc.... Quote Link to post
The one 8,551 Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 i dont think every ferret sold threw a market has some type of problems these were places folk sold off there surplus now with paying a commission to sell them for what little they go for your no going to make anything , so folk sell them on gum tree ,here etc and get the full amount they ask for Quote Link to post
