    I'm sorry you see it like that, I didnt mean to ruin the topic for you. And thats if for me, now you can get the last word for what its worth.
  3. Flying Ferrets
    I do get your point, I just dont want to go on and on about this
  4. Flying Ferrets
    well what can I say, we have different points of view I think I said what I wanted to already.

    LOL, Yeah, it makes me laugh, yet i have to agree with countryboy on this one.... How many times have we heard on here people say, " i,d go round and break there legs, etc" Or " i'd shoot the b*****d", or "if that farmer did that to me i'd blar blar blar. Now this guy reckons he would smash a scull over a ferret!!! Surely you have had worse things happen to you throughout your life than your ferret getting nicked olddog?? So come on how years have you done behind bars!!?? You never here anybody cominmg on sayinmg "well, i've done it" ive broke the fuckers arms, and now i'm going down..

    this is just sick! It has happened a few times that peoples ferrets have been stolen here, but that was ferrets inside houses, and i think they were sold as pets. Thats just crazy because an adult ferrets is not worth that much money, not even here. But sometime some brainles greenpeacefanatics lets ferrets out from the outside cages because they think they are supposed to live in freedom or some bs like that... I think I would find myself capable of almost anything if someone ever did anything like that with my ferrets and I found the ones who did it. I hope you'll find your ferret

    they need protein AND fat. in dry food about 18-20% fat for an active ferret and as much protien as possible, no less than 30% then the dry food is no good. Maybe that sounds like a lot, but dry food is very compact and they will also drink a lot of water, Wwen they get meat theres a lot of water in it so the fat should be around 6-7% Theres a difference in ferrets and some will need less fat, some more. But this is their general need.
  8. Flying Ferrets
    that should be ok. You should not give them ox to often because theres someting in the ox fat wich will stay in the ferret and can cause kidney damage if theres to much. But once in while its good, just not as bacis food. Minced meat has a lot of bacterias in it, but a healthy ferret will have no problem eating it. A weak ferret might get sick. Dry food is not that bad, but I'm sure that meat is a lot better. Here in denmark ferrets often die from cancer in a young age, and besides for the fact that most ferrets are kept inside here, Im sure that it is also related to the food. I give

    Do you have only one ferrets? Why don't you get him some compagny? buy or get another ferret and then try going with both, to see if its only him or if you are just really unlucky with the rabbits...

    OMG Thats classic! and omg is btw oh my god and btw is by the way

    I have a ferret who turned quite fat... so fat I was starting to worry (read: really really fat.. ). I gave her some rabbit and other meat low on fat, when she was alone, so she wasnt hungry and wouldnt eat much of the meat the others got. I haven't relly been that strict, so shes still choppy, but I think it did her good. Now I'm not worried that she will have a heart attach every time I see her move. And of course they need to get a lot of exercise. In general ferrets are allowed to be a little choppy in the winter.

    Don't they look pretty Starting a new fashion?

    i sent you a message I think
  14. Flying Ferrets
    I'll suggest that to her Thanks. but it seems like she thinks the hunt is good for the ferrets... It's a little like talking to a door. I hoped maybe some had a picture of a ferret hurt by a rat that would talk its own language, but I'll try and talk to her again and suggest the rat traps.
  15. Flying Ferrets
    actually they eat dry food and I think she never tried to feed them dead mice/rats because shes afraid of killing the mice/rats. I already told her its not really leagal that way she wants to do it, but she think its good for her ferrets to hunt the rats and she wont believe that a rat can hurt a ferret... The mice she also just lets loose in the caravan for the ferrets to hunt. I think thats wrong too, but with the rats I'm afraid it could end badly for the ferrets? Even though maybe she would learn something from that, its not fair to the ferrets. I think they would eat dead mice if sh

    Im with stealthy on this. Ferrets would prefer the easier meal rather than chasing after a rat in a caravan when they can be fed something easy like mince or rabbit. Also surely its illegal to feed live animals to pets in Denmark? No not really. the law says that you HAVE to kill the animal as quick and painless as possible. so you can feed a rat if you are sure the ferret will kill it within a second... but I don't think thats going to happend.... it's leagal to feed live mice to snakes and so on. And for the record to some of you. I'm not the one wanting to give my ferrets livi
  17. Flying Ferrets
    thanks ferret feller But ehm.... she can't really go hunting because of the fact that theres only rabbits in Denmark on a very small island not near where she lives.... not much ferreting going on here but also... when afraid of killing a rat, they maybe hunting isn't the best option for that person

    These are not working ferrets, I think they have killed mice but thats it. I know it would be better for her just to give dead rats, my problem is that she won't listen. I think maybe she will listen if i have some facts instead of my own guessing. I know how to kill rats btw, its not leagal to drown them in denmark, the normal was is to slap them quick and hard against a table or something and then break their neck. I think the ferrets would win too, if they can catch the rat.... but isn't there a quite big risk that they will get hurt too?
  20. Flying Ferrets
    I feed my ferrets rats, rabbits and mice... but dead. I dont mind shes wants to feed rats to her ferrets, thats fine, but she wants to just let the rats out in the caravan with the ferrets, maybe for fun, maybe because of the fact that shes afraid of killing them herself. I'd like to be able to tell her something based on peoples experience instead of just "ehm.. just dont think its a good idea...." Thanks for the ansvers so far

    I know a young girl here in Denmark who is determined to feed her pet ferrets living adult rats. Shes afraid of killing the rats and so the thinks it is easyer just to let an adult rat og two into the carravan where she keeps the ferrets (yes she keeps ferrets in a carravan..), and let the ferrets handle them. I believe I have read something inhere at some point about rats being able to hurt ferrets quite badly, so if any of you have some pictures, a story or something of a ferret being hurt by a rat I would be very grateful! I know its an odd question but I really cant get the sam

    Beware of next doors zombie rabbit! Returning from the dead to bolt ferrets :dance:
  23. Flying Ferrets
    thats strange, but I know it happened here in Denmark too, this year and last year, both indoor and outdoor ferrets. I blame the global warming, what else could it be? Maybe theres a few v-hobs out there which are a little early too? There's one in Denmark, but again, thats a little far to go for you
  24. Flying Ferrets
    Only if your ferrets have been in contact with sick rabbits and then somehow in contact with the rabbit next door. I'd say thats very unlikely, and so is the rabbit next door dying from stress relatet to your ferrets. If its an outside rabbit it should be used to all kinds of smells and sounds anyway.... The rabbit was probably sick from something else and couldn't stand the cold, or something like that.

    Just a £100 fuji compact, think i need an SLR to get the piccies i want. The thing is with taking the running piccies, you're usually behind the working animals, following up. This coupled with digging, carrying and ferreting does not leave you with much of a chance to take the piccies! I have Dslr and I would have been happy with pics like those (but we almost never get any snow around here...), but I think it would be too much to carry around when hunting?
