morning guys just been out to check my snares that i set up yesterday evening i've had a few but i am finding that when the snares have been used i can no longer re-tension them as they tend to stay in an almost perfect circle and will not spring back like they do when you've just made them. so any ideas guys please? do you think i've spun them too tight or to loose when i made them or am i just doing something wrong? thanks in advance tony

evening i have a pup(nearly 9weeks) she's great but sometimes gets a a bit heavy handed with the play biting, she does it if your playing with her or if were in the garden retrieving socks etc or sometimes if your just stroking her. nothing painfull. its not really a problem for me but she does it to my three year old son, who is starting to get wary of her which is not what i want so i need to try and stop it. i have tried the NO! and also reprimanding her but she is still doing it. any ideas please fellas? cheers tony

afternoon i have just got a bitch pup(8weeks) and have been reading up about feed etc. i have decided after trying dry feed, i know i know to feed her a barf diet. a lot of the advice(using the search facility) i have seen is aimed at older pups/dogs so i was wondering if you people could give me advice on what types of meat and carbs and calcium that i could feed her. thankyou tony

he had dropped the price of the pup as i was travelling quite a distance so maybe he had been offered more, i would not of minded if he had just let me know. just annoyed that i spent £40 on fuel and then had to go home and explain to my son why i did not have the new pup. but he has not rang to apologise. cheers tony

its a bit of a toss up really mate, some say jills some say hobs. jills will be a bit quicker but some say not quite the stamina of a larger hob. hobs tend to bully the rabbits more, mine has regularly dragged a rabbit back in the burrow. some say you get more digs with a hob but with mine i had only 3 digs all season, we had more with my mates jills. some wont have jills for the reason of them coming in to season, not a problem with hobs. so its just what you prefer really mate. as for kits or older kits are good to bring on but can get frustrating when trying to get them to work when they

hello mate i would think really the word would have little importance as the dog only recognises the word and then knows what you are asking them to do. i would just pick a word and keep repeating this anytime before the action that you are expecting it to do like you would any other command and the dog will soon learn to recognise it. cheers tony

nice one mate, the basket looks like a top professional job

i suppose any one could really mate. the locator debate will go on forever some will some wont. also some people ferret without nets to bolt to dogs to give them sport anyway mate. cheers tony
