Jordyferreter 30 Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Depends what you call small ?not those micro things?I’ve just had a litter out of a small lean Jill to a medium sized hob ,hoping the young will stay small but not micro size Quote Link to post

Jordyferreter 30 Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Think there pretty hard to come by now with how ferrets are bred these days I’d love to find a smaller than average hob Quote Link to post
Coursing mad 24 874 Posted July 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Maybe a micro type job over a small type him would breed a smaller type Quote Link to post
Arry 18,536 Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Have a look at Ferret photos on page 3 that i posted a while back. I have two fairly large gills and two a year old in May just gone, there about half the size of my older ones. My mate bought one off the same guy a little polecat and she is even smaller than that but still bolts rabbits well. The Guy rang me he has breed them again this year but there down in Devon. The little one is a year one and was working well for a young one last season Cheers Arry Quote Link to post
