Does everyone use one? If not then how often do you lose a ferret? Or do you have another method like tying string to them or similar?
-
I don't see the appeal. Rather a nice brindle.
-
What area of the country are you?
-
I'm a woman and would prefer a standard ferret all day long

Just thrown in a young pheasant for my two four month old kits. How long this time of year is it okay to leave with them for? Should I expect them to eat the lot including the bones?
-
It's an actual question. Why are micro ferrets bred? What benefit do they have over a normal ferret? What is their purpose?
-
What's the point in a micro ferret?

I'm off on holiday fox hunting in Ireland this season. Can't wait.

Thank you. I did email my vet who operated on her yesterday. His consensus was that the risk of another fracture on the same leg was no different to her doing any other leg and providing she is fit and having shown no lameness then to just crack on and see how she does. I look forward to getting her out next month.

What Is The Best Breed For The Job?
peter7917 replied to peter7917's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
For me it's not as simple as just getting out and running them. My dogs are pets more so than workers so even if they are crap at the job they will still be with me for life. It's just interesting to get opinions so I know what to consider for my next dog. For me it would be specifically to take ferreting so I do not need a large dog. My screen name is misleading, I'm actually a soft female who loves her dogs but just enjoys seeing them do what they were bred to do. -
I am new to ferreting. I have a couple of kits who I will be taking out next month. I will likely just take one at a time. I will be out with much more experienced people who will have experienced ferrets. My question is can you work an inexperienced kit alongside an experienced older ferret when they have never met before? Is there any best practices or anything to avoid doing?
-
Oh absolutely She is hand fed regularly. She is very much a pet. Her recall is amazing except when she has caught something.
-
I notice most of you on here seem to have bigger, more substantial lurcher types. What advantage do you think they have over a whippet? What mix do you think makes the best worker?
-
I have a cracking bitch. Whippet x staffy/bc. She's sharp as you like and can turn on a six pence. My problem is although she has no problem catching her prey, she then won't come back with it! Anyone else had this problem and how did you overcome it?
-
It tells me I'm not allowed to view other members profiles so I can't pm you..

Yes plate is to remain in. I think I'm just worrying for no reason. Thank you.
-
I need a new ferret box. To take two ferrets. Anyone have any for sale close to Southampton or recommend any fairly priced companies to order from?
-
One of my kits latched on and drew blood at nine weeks. If they were biting you to hurt you then you would know about it.
-
She's four. I'm sure she's completely healed. It's just that my father has me worried as he told me I should use a different dog as the sharp turns could make it snap again. It's reinforced with a metal plate so I can't see why that should happen. If I take her out and she pulls up lame and it's too much for her then fair enough I will use a different dog. I just really want reassurance that they don't just snap again!!

My bitch broke her radius six months ago. Not her ulna. She has a metal plate in her leg. She is back to a good level of fitness, sprinting daily and has no stiffness/lameness. Had anyone else's dog broke this bone and been okay to come back into work? I'm desperate to get her out ferreting. She seems just fine on her walks but I don't want to put the bone under too much stress if it's not advisable.
