Polecat Lady 0 Posted October 5 Report Share Posted October 5 Just make sure it really is an Eu and not a black self being passed off as one. Quote Link to post

Just fancy something different tbh mate , not sure of the genetic difference between an eu and a black self ? Quote Link to post
dogmad riley 1,351 Posted October 12 Report Share Posted October 12 The EUs i had where handled the same as all my others from kits. They just never tamed the same like I said very skittish would sit in the nest box all day late afternoon they would an appearance I wouldn't have another no use for ferreting imo but are impressive to look at 1 Quote Link to post

Daniel cain 49,522 Posted Sunday at 18:30 Report Share Posted Sunday at 18:30 I've had a few, prefer the jills ,if I'm honest,you will get plenty of rabbits with them,and plenty of f***ing digging lol,the last couple I had killed more rabbits in the ground,than ever bolted,I shit you not Quote Link to post
Bird Catcher 103 Posted Sunday at 19:02 Report Share Posted Sunday at 19:02 Quite regularly see wild ones here, only last 10 year mind, black as your hat and some of the dog ones are massive. Coming over Watership Down at about 5 - 5.30 am not unommon to see them, either darting into the verge or run over. No idea what they're eating as there certainly ain't the rabbits here that there used to be. Personally I'd stick to ferrets mate ( tried/ tested etc). I get the idea of something different but for me.. my old family of small, skinny little ones do OK. And we got mostly deep chalk earth's here. Quote Link to post
