hi guys, it`s just about time to start training my harris hawk for the new season. after being to a few fairs over the past couple of months one thing i`d like to get is one of these wee machines that pull the lure that the dogs and birds chase. does anyone have one of these for sale or can anyone point me in the direction of how to make one, remembering that i`m not that mechanicly minded. thanks guys for any help noddy aberdeen

The jills vulva should go down within 14 days of being with the hob, but it's the act of mating that brings them out of season so not a definite marker as they could have not got pregnant and have a phantom pregnancy, The hair on her belly and legs will thin as she starts to nest around 3 week mark . It's sometimes hard to to tell if she's pregnant, they can be good at 'hiding' it ! just make sure she has a varied diet esp with calcium in it as they can go into calcium shock wich needs a vet pdq they are usually bang on 42 days after mating

nah , it's men , they always have a problem with numbers and round it up. How many of you think that 6 in is actually 12 !
-
Sorry your guy didn't make it, i would get your other 2 to the vets and get them vaccinated against distemper and scubbed every thing out and leave it to dry out before putting them back in.
-
if he has distemper no he will not get over it, it is fatal in ferrets and highly contagious. he needs to see a vet pdq

Cheers Steve, Denise in Aberdeen here, are they still trading
-
anyone here know how to contact them please ? Cheers

If the ferret doesn't come good, why not put him to a rescue, they will rehome him as a pet ?
-
how old is she ? have you checked for mites etc ?
-
polecats are a protected species now so maybe killing them not a good idea ?
-
if it's not down by 3rd week call the vet. are they fully swollen ? The vulva gradually goes down
-
How old is your youngest ? I have a jill that HATES kits or anything under ayear. I had to wait until the kits were ayear old before getting them together , even then there were some scraps, the kits by that time were big enough and condident enough to tell her where to go but when they were younger she just went into hunt mode with them and it wasn't safe for them. If the young jill is completely new it's also a case of group dynamics. and your older jill may be taking exceptiom big time to it. try putting veg oil on the back of neck with both of them sometimes by the time they've licked it

my wife runs aferret club and does a few racing events in the summer, the ferrets are a great attraction and most people are delighted to see them. As you say a lot of people have no idea about them, she was asked the last time out, are they chipmunks ?
-
It's adrenal disease and is not contagious, he's a bit young for it and is rarely seen in ferrets kept entire and outside
-
are you just leaving the jills to get on with it ? or wanting to see the kits best left for a week as some jills don't cope with being disturbed
-
I have 3 legged ferret with half a tail he does everything and more ! One of the smartest ones I've got, can open drawers, works things out for himself and has the best nature ever. He was going to get banged on the head when 1yo so I took him
-
Kits need lots of raw meat it can be chicken, mince (the cheaper the better,high fat content) rabbit, pigeon etc
-
Tha vulva in a in-season jill swells up like a do-ring,you can also get them jill jabbed if you don't want to breed or neutered if you don't want to breed
-
is he entire ? sometimes they can get a bit run down
-
They do 90 pc to 95pc of growth in the first 6 months and they bones are fused by the time they are a year
-
they are good looking ferrets , you never know what the judge prefers, what wins one show, doesn't the next. Give it a go and just look on it as a fun day out, you never know un til you try
