Mongoosing for rabbits

[Fat-Ferret 857]

I saw the pet shop local to me selling Dwarf Mongooses today, I had a look and the guy reckoned they would be good for rabbits and ratting! You would definitely want a locator collar on it though..........£1000 a pair!!

You got that right! A bad ferret is like a mouse compared to one of those Mongooses.

That was a while ago eh??

 

Last shop I managed we had a Spider Monkey, Capuchin, Coatis, Fruit Bats, Squirel monkeys, marmosets etc. etc. etc.

 

Those days are long gone in the S.East as far as I know (still try to keep my hand in, even after this long)..

Haha I wouldn't fancy my chances haha Nice creatures that they are. Amazing what people will pass on, I know that recently ( 3-4 year) ago a bloke in this area was selling male chimps at a very silly price. Think he has been shut down since haha but apparently there was at least one tiger breeder in belfast, and at that time you needed a dog licence. ( maybe you still do?)

N.Essex now...

The shop I managed was in Rainham (Essex), went to Dagenham to help a mate out in his shop, then had my own aquatic shop back in Rainham...

 

After that done a bit from home, may even still have my eurorep trade account... not been active in the pet trade for a few years now though...
