sue 1 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 nothing what so ever not a penny Quote Link to post
Guest bigredbusa Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 £10 seems to be the going rate but if you ask me thats too much Quote Link to post
jazz_11 5 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 in my area i though 15 pound for a jill was cheap, but wasnt, there are guys in my are asking a 5er a ferret or some even giving them awy... but maybe you have a better market in your area, in which case its not ott at all..

Kay 3,709 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 I think theres loads about in need of a good forever home so if its a good home cost shouldnt come into it really , you cant put a price on a ferret really there priceless Quote Link to post
deputydog 68 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 never have paid for a ferret and never charged anything for a 1 either as long as they going to a good home especially a working 1 im happy to give them away Quote Link to post

stubby 175 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I tend to charge £15 any sex any colour, if people know your giving them away, I feel you'd get some that then would'ent bother digging to it, as it cost nowt, Quote Link to post
The one 8,592 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 You can pay a couple of pound up to a fiver but talk colours and your talking crazy money Quote Link to post
Rolfe 2 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 If i had my way every ferret would cost a minimum of £100........that way it might stop some of the poor creatures being passed from one bad owner to another. I treat all my animals with the respect they deserve, and in return they work their hearts out for me day after day, and are an integral part of my working life. Any kits i breed only ever go to working homes and the people have to be known to me personally.......that way i can be reasonably sure they will have a long and happy working life and be housed in clean and sanitary conditions......Rant Over Rolfe.

pmarsh10 1 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 like i always say if your willing to pay for it your willing to take care of it......my thoughts to i have 18 ferets thart i have bred this year I will be keeping 5 of them as they are from excelent working stock and every one will be worked and the best will be bred from in the future as i have done for years and so on and if people cant understand the work that goes into years of breeding and are not willing to pay for good stock they can stick with the freebees and happy digging in the last four years i have had to dig to one ferret needless to say that ferret wasnt bred fromas far as money goes im not talking big bucks a fiver as a token of appreciation is good enough Quote Link to post
