    Did a bit of phoneing around yesterday for some people who asked me how much a jill jab would cost i phoned 1 vets in brighton and was told £38 per ferret well i nearly fainted Is this price just for my area or is it standard--ish over the whole uk would be interested to know what the jab costs in your area

    The jills and hobs can get a bit touchey during the mating season Our vasectomised hob has also nipped as well in the mid summer nothing savage just a little nip where normaly he is very placid ferret Never been able to find out exactly why they can turn a bit touchy during these months something to do with horemoans i expect But it is nothing to worry about and it will soon pass it dont mean your ferret has turned nasty its quite normal

    Sorry but i strongly dissagree with breeding just to sell them kitts can quite often end up in the wrong hands by owners who bore of them quickly when just sold to any old tom dick or harry We bred a small litter of 6 this year but they had already been homed befour they were born by myself and very close friends and if there had been 12 in the litter i still had good homes for them I understand that keepers want to breed a couple for themselfs and sell off the ones that are left in the litter but to breed them just to sell is wrong get a vasectamised hob instead please

    We had a albino hob with an undershot jaw a few years ago now and he was a fantastic little worker and a very gentle ferret his teeth didnt bother him in the slightest Im sure he will be fine if in doubt just take him to the vet to put your mind at rest

    Your certainly right there the one killing all the fleas and any fly eggs by freezing is a real bonus

    Had some odds and ends of coloured polyester left so i decided to knit them together by hand without the needle i got a 4ft net this is how it turned out I think the rabbits will think they are stoned

    Dont chase numbers mate just injoy yourselfs when i started ferreting at 15 we walked miles and miles and maybe only caught 1 rabbit but we were pleased as punch with it them early days i will never forget they are as bruce springsteen says the best years of my ferreting life

    As halfinch said noise above ground can be a major reason why the rabbits wont bolt try and keep the noise/talking to as little as poss this might improve the rabbits actually bolting but rabbits do unfortunatly go into stop ends and bottle up thats when you have to get the spade out and dig hot work this time of year PHEW
