B*stard Mk3 Collars!

[boris b 1]

Not different as such mate , yours just look a better finish than mine thats all so they can come apart at the clip . like a lot of stuff compnays release the first version then improve it with the mugs that by the first version getting to pay to field test for them .

I tend to tape mine to stop muck and water getting into them, they dont come apart that easily but they can stop working if it becomes wet and dirty inside.

steve, i did take your advice on doing the collars up tighter and it does work but not on my small jills.. so for them i just stick to my upgraded ones..

I think that is a good solution to the problem of the mk3 collar Ritchie , Have you enlarged the gap so that the leather will pass thru ?

also I think that deben recommend that you wrap insulation tape around it to stop water getting in.

i carefully scraped the gap wider by less than a mm using a sharp craft knife..

 

ive never bothered putting tape around to stop water getting in the battery compartment.. never had that problem yet. deben say the unit compartmet is water proof but not the battery compartment. knowing me ill wait till i have the problem first before i start taping it up...

There a bugger arnt they

 

What i do sometimes is get the ferrets used to wearing the collars by putting thme on them in the court during the day

Forgot to add I have also burnt holes inbetween all the standards and a few more so that it can go smaller....

at first i had a problem with the collar coming off my silver jill the first time it was a mate's collar and it came of right under a wall it was a right tw*t to get out it was just with her winter coat on it looked tighter than it was iv took to double checking now them leather collars look good what are they just cat collars thanks

i had the same problem. untill i upgraded them. but i do use the original nylon mk3 collar with my bigger hobs & jills but useless with small ferrets.

 

 

 

i have just bought two leather collars and cant get them through the slits on the transmitter did you have to modify yours to make it fit ?..........y.i.s chink

Yes Sunday it happened to my mate. He has the mk 3 and I still have the old ones. His box doesn't pick my collars up and vise versa, but he was told it would. Does anyone know if it should?

MK1 boxes pick up mk1,2,and 3 collars,replace the nylon collars with leather they dont slip all the best

[richie 1]

Ive had them come of before today but it's never happened with the mk1 collar's.. and that's a good idea modifying them with a leather collar but for feck's sake the amount of money they cost all this should of been thought of before they scrapped the mk1 which i prefer without a doubt..

deben are full of shite!.

 

when it first happened i called deben & explained the problem i was having, the lady on the phone said i was the first person to call & complain... she was talking out of her arse as i had a mate call up about it a few weeks earlier. she wasnt helpful & couldnt give me any useful advice apart from do the collars up tighter, but that doesnt help when like me i have 2 small jills that i tend to use alot. if i do tighten them up to where i think it has no chance of coming off, as soon as i place them on the ground they start wriggling on the floor trying to get them off, so whats the point. in the end i ordered some replacement mk1 collars and done a slight modification on the mk3 transmitters and bingo !! they stay on my small jills with no problem & ive never had one come off again " touch wood "..
