  1. Feeding mostly Sunflower hearts and niger (if thats how you spell it) and No mess. Had about 8 to 10 inches of snow and now freezing rain so chucked raisins for the black birds and bread crumbs, no mess feed on top of the snow for ground feeders. Every thing is coming in even Rooks and jackdaws. Cheers Arry
  2. Bit of snow and no snow ploughs or gritter's about So 2 4x4s towing a Car-Transporter and trailer up a hill in Totnes. Few locals help people get up the hill so they could get home to Paignton. Wifey and me are knackered pushing and shoving. Sat by the fire have a whisky now. Cheers Arry
  3. I think that is true but the ferrets drink it more readily when its warm in fact near fight over the bottles. I don't mind changing it more often as long as they are hydrated. Cheers Arry
  4. Nice one mate just got my laughing gear around fried egg and bacon butty while looking at you post, got to keep the cold out. Cheers Arry
  5. Been giving an egg watered down between them also changing water bottles 3 or 4 times a day and putting warm water in them they have been freezing up in an hour. I've put some short battens on the roof over the nest box area then another piece of ply to create an air gap cuts down on condensation on the lid. Cheers Arry
  6. Become a trainer yourself if you can thats where the money is. Bloody CITB used to ripe me off. When it all started to come in I argued with them when they told me I had to have licences for this and that. Asked them if there are no dumper drivers were did they get their drivers from. Luckily I got most licences on granddads rights but every year they invented another licence in the end you needed one just to fart. Out of it now i'm retired but always said training others is the way forward if you can't beat them join them. Good luck mate. Cheers Arry
  7. Mate I can see you posted it a few minutes age but can't see it in the general section. Cheers Arry i'm being a twat sorry mate see were it is now

  9. Very nice lads I like them. Try and get some pics of mine but as with all ferrets the never sit still. Wanted some pics of them all together but they shoot off always. Cheers Arry
  10. You won't get any kits till the spring but theres some really good lads on here that may be able to help around that time. Cheers Arry
  11. I would try and go for an early litter April May if you can that way you could be using them maybe November December. A good working line would be good But having said that I once bought some from a country store out let on whim (I just liked the look of them)and they turned out to be crackers. Cheers Arry
  12. Even better then mate. I run 4 jills and my mate has 2 jills. I have 2 quite large 3year old jills sisters its ether they come out or dig with them, the other 2 are sisters this years kits and well pleased and quite small. My mate bry has a good smallish 3 year old and a tiny little pole cat that work very well. Cheers Arry
  13. Nice result for you two new little jills bet your well confident in them now. How about some more pics of them can't really judge the size from the pics. I know thats hard as I tried to take some of mine last week and they won't sit still. Cheers Arry
  14. Right up my street that mate. Getting worried you hadn't posted food for a while thought you had gone on a diet Lol. Cheers Arry
  15. That a good point, I make my own replacement collars, so make up a couple without transmitter on put on let them run around there run no problems when it comes to the real thing. Cheers Arry
  16. Got to be please him on his first time out. Cheers Arry
  17. Green Dragon that black in the second picture is like the ones we normally get if we get one, these are crossed up for many generations I think. Had another today let go a young black one and put another up in a wood, we were about three fields away from the others we caught so there must be quite a few around there. Strange really as we never had any there before. Cheers Arry
  18. Well the population is not doing that well, we must be 30% down on last year, pockets of them some places barren. But on the other hand there are lots of young ones about. It was the markings on those two rabbits I found interesting the ones we catch ever were else are all black. Cheers Arry
  19. Thanks Lads for that much as I thought then. I think we will make a few up and give them ago, when I say we I mean my mate as the base of my thumbs get me feck these days. The main use would be the top of the hedge run nets they should purse twice as fast being pegged at both ends in theory with less chance of snagging crap. The hedges down here range from 3' to about 8' high banks often very thick cover and 5' to 8' wide so a lot of hedge crawling, they flail them in the autumn so we end up with lots of black thorn bit on the ground in the hedge. Some times as the rabbit is pursing up in a ru
  20. Is there a way to edit out a double post? Can a mod remove one if asked? Cheers Arry
  21. Now i've never even seen a Poke net let alone held one. Would they be better that a large purse net for a top of a hedge stop net or run net? Also just from pictures they seem to be a four foot net ringed on both ends with draw cord pegged on both ends with the net just floating between is that right? Cheers Arry
  22. Had few yesterday and a brace of black ones among them, there a bit different than others we catch they are all black. Cheers Arry
