Slightly different gripes here, but the same general gist of idiots owning dogs. On friday night there I was out with my mate and we stopped at the pizza/kebab shop (as you do). Then some junkie lookin fecker came in with his arms literally flailing about asking if they do fish and chips. So anyway he orders fish and chips and then corresponds with some woman outside who has a German Shephard on the lead, who just about manages to say while struggling to stay standing up that she wants a battered sausage for the dog. No battered sausage, or unbattered sausage. Oh well, they order the d

Best Way to keep the water bottle attached to the cage?
gibby replied to a topic in Ferrets & Ferreting
Bloody hell stubby thats a great idea that looks amazing! Myself I just use the wires that come with the bottles I guess ive been lucky so far. Ive got 3 bottles held on this way as we speak. -
I agree with that its not worth the risk to your other ferrets or to yourself mate.

I dont have a big enough freezer to keep enough rabbits to feed my ferrets all summer so I have to get them somehow. Most of the time I shoot them, but only enough to feed my ferrets. However when asked specifically for pest control in the summer I would take my hobs if its the most viable option

Got 3 more ferrets to work as well as my experienced workers. Got the week off work next week so Im going to build a bigger carry box. Got a new mk3 locator and just sold my mk1. Going to buy some more nets and apply for my shotgun cert (I know Ive left it a little late to apply but Ive been very short of cash!). All in all was getting ready for a cracking season, total (even more than last year) dedication to rabbit extermination. And now foot and mouth has the possibility of f*****g things up And as if that wasnt bad enough I noticed mixi on 3 of my permissions a couple of weeks ago

I wonder why Whats that supposed to mean? ilderfryd, sorry to see that. Like other have said lucky it was stillborn thus not feeling any pain.

Following a link on that site I found this: http://www.petakillsanimals.com/article_de...cfm?article=134 Worth a read. The whole site is worth a read in fact. Escpecially the bit about how they dont spend the money they raise on animal welfare, they spend it on anti-milk propaganda etc (anyone remember that from a couple of years back?). Also the fact they kill thousands of animals a year. PETA IF YOUR READING THIS I SPIT AT YOU

Look Im not trying to judge you in any way. Just pointing out the fact that you feed dry food, after your post in reply to mine implied you didnt. Although you have since highlighted that it is only to pups. I hope you dont hold a grudge against me for this
-
Ok fair enough then. Perhaps you should consider continuing to feed it into adulthood if your pups get such good muscle tone at under 6 months that its worth passers by commenting on it. Must be quite good stuff.
-
The original question was do you exclusively feed raw and in the above post you imply you do... But what about the fact that you feed your dogs on supa greyhound as well and they look bloody good on it? http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/index...15&start=15 If your dogs look so good on it why have you stopped feeding it? And whats so wrong therefore with the odd dry ferret food meal? Just wondering
-
Yep spent a fortune on chicken wings etc too. I want whats best for my ferrets but the odd dry meal is not going to harm. I know someone who keeps ferrets as pets only and they get fed on nothing but dry with the odd egg, and live long and happy lives. Not my way of doing it but to each his own. Interesting that you mention cats as Ive often wondered if the people who feed their ferrets and dogs on a barf diet feed there cats the same, it would seem some of you do
-
I dont have dogs at the moment, although I was brought up with lurchers and collies, so Im not going to comment on that one. But I can agree with the general point gaz has made in this post and in a couple of other related posts recently. People on this forum seem to go a bit high and mighty (probably myself included inadvertantly) and I can imagine it makes people who feed dry food feel bad about it. But some people dont have the oppurtunity to feed raw food especially not the year round, does give them any less of a right to keep ferrets? I feed my ferrets almost exclusively on raw

Yep had the exact same thing happen my neighbours cat nicked a big rabbit I was defrosting in the shed last winter!

What do you think charlie has caught for breakfast
gibby replied to heart of wales's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I think its a rabbit too. Doesnt look anything like a bird to me. -
I shoot rabbits in the summer but just enough to keep the ferrets fed. Unless I got asked specifically to do it for pest control then I would take as many as I could and would even use ferrets if it was the best option. Because there are some occassions when if you turn down the landowner you risk losing the permission.
-
With great difficulty! Usually they stay in the general vicinity of the rabbit warren you are working but you have to keep an eye out in case they try to wander along the hedge etc looking for the next warren. A ferret finder is also a very usefull tool and lets you know where your ferrets are underground so that you can dig to them if they kill something underground etc. Hope this helps;) Gibby
