  1. that 3rd one is a cracking serama
  2. get to school, its not worth the outcome of the rest of your life for a bit of ferreting
  3. ferrets are not pack animals, they are solitary animals that would never socialise in the wild apart from to mate.
  4. i have got it without prescription from the vets, they just make you sign a disclaimer so if your ferret dies its not their fault. make sure you get cat strength.
  5. brian plummer used to do it with stenching old rotten hens, apparently they loved it
  6. ive got a small polecat jill for sale im near skipton, lack of room to bring on kits forces sale. its my freinds, but lives here.
  7. what breeding is that brindle dog mate? good write up
  8. if you think about it, a ferret that manages to bolt (in ANY way) and not kill should be bred from, or tthis is what USED to happen, before evertyne bred 6 litters of sh!te every year, so you may have managed to keep one of the old strain somehow? its like natural selection, if it doesnt do its job, it doesnt survive? just a thought?
  9. thanks for the pictures and info guys, very much appreciated, i have worked out that economising is not really a good option? for such a valuable tool?
  10. i also think it will be a slippery slope in a good way, i was tempted to take some photos of my ferreting trip, but to be honest, i couldnt be arsed. i thnk if it was shown that everyones hunting posts were bering really appreciated etc, then more people would be tempted to post pics etc, like me. just a thought.
  11. i think ideations wee threads about nipping to the bottom of the garden for the odd rabbit were great, they were small enough to ber arsed to read, not too daunting, and its got some good photos and interesting, and i vote for mal as well, i want to see ferreting pictures etc, not adverts
  12. i give them the fairly fat mixy rabbits, or the early ones, not the scablly thin ones
  13. best ferreting shovel? what are in your mind good features, important features or vital features? any links or pics? thanks
  14. botulism, toxins produced in rotten or gone of meat can cause slight paralysis or death, maybe they horded some meat away and he didnt find it and they ate it?
  15. id be interested in the jack russel and rat hunting books ill pay full price, do you have paypal? cheers
  16. my doors open top dwon also, but as i made them there is a gap , so the foot was not crushed
  17. you may as well feed them an egg and some paper, for that is the equivalent of a chick
  18. cheers for that mate, luna looks like my kind of dog. how tall is she rougly? cheers
  19. for once, im glad im shit at diy theres not a big gap, but compared to how flat and dextrous a ferrets foot it, they would have to be no gap to do a lot of damage i think. thanks for yourr interest and concern mate
  20. what ways are those dogs bred? and which is luna? great write up
  21. in not gonna cull her, even though she should be, if i was gonna pretend to be hard hunting type if she gets the food quickly shes not too bad, but if she can smell it but not find you hand with the meat, she gets so would up and then tries to bite anything she can so this is why i chuck it in i know i sound i pleb "chucking my meat into the ferret and slamming the door" but i handle her laods during the day, and shes as soft as anthing, but as soon as meat is involved she just changes completly, i think shes bipolar iv just been out to feed her now, and she seems fine, she was running up
  22. the ferret did not squeal, she was preoccupied with the meat, she is that mad i could of probably hacked her leg off and as long as the food is in her mouth she wouldnt care. she really is mental. i can assure you i do know how to "deal with" ferrets, i have 3 other ferrets, these are as tame as puppies and i can feed these by hand and they will ick meat juice off my hand. as malt described, she should probably be culled, and she will never be bred from, but i felt so sorry for her, she was about 307g as a 12 week old kit, absolutely tiny, but she was so inquisitive and trusting even though s
  23. but i am also asking what you would do in this situation as well
