Starting with ferrets...

[Missie 1]

Thanks for all the tips everyone.

 

I'm not worried about breeding as they are for my daughter so rescues that are neutered don't bother me, in fact it may make life easier.

 

I've already been told I can have one of the stables for them so thats where they'll go but I need a run inside there as the stable itself isn't secure but its dry and sheltered for them.

 

Thanks again everyone, i'll get everything sorted out over the next few weeks and let you all know how we get on!

Nose flickings as bad as walloping a ferret ,they respond to kindness not being flicked around the nose

PMSL i obviously do know i have a rescue who was smacked round the head by a bloke, the bloke burst his eyeball, he literally rips human skin open now he even bit through someones jeans he trusts me after over a year but no-one else, shall i smack his nose if he bites

 

and yes i have the scars

My advice would be to get a pair of castrated hobs. They'll be easer to handle, & won't need taking out of season.

ps dont put 2 hobs together as they will fight unless i think they are brothers or have grown up together but not %100 sure

 

 

Thats not true atall you are going by gossip, you can keep two hobs together fine be brother or stranger, trust me i had 4 hobs at one stage all not related!

Not threw the breeding season you didn't

[Guest jojoamojo]

We have a business of 8 hobs, 7 are castrated and one is vasectomised, all live happily together all year round, not a spot of bother

I have 3 neuter hobs, and they're fine together.

Well I'm lost for words,I just can't understand why that would be!!. :wallbash:

Not true atall kay, it shows they are doing wrong, if it bites you then youu stroke it then it will think if i bite someone i will get love and attentio not the message i would be waniting to send. Youre choice each to there own!I am not on about flicking the ferret hard just so he knows hehas done wrong...

Whats the point in flicking a ferrets nose with your fingers which are attached to a hand if you want the animal to not fear hands , the most obvious part off the body you pick them up with, there are biters & none biters if you have a ferret who bites look at its behavior , observe why its biting

 

Would you feel pretty sad if you discovered you punnished a ferret for being in pain for example , they bite for a whole lot off reasons & not just because there mean
