  1. jap quail are the hardiest birds ive ever had, i used to keps some in one of those really shitty thin plywood rabbit hutches you get from a petshop, and when it was minus christ knows what in the middle of winter and they were still laying a egg each contrary to what the books say about light levels etc. the eggs are delicous. but if you do get some, get however many you can keep and keep it at that, because any new comers to the flock WILL get their heads pecked open.
  2. your dog looks to have some serious condition when its stood on that log pile mate, credit to you
  3. to be honest mate, id rather leave a few bunnys down the holes and make sure is get my ferrets back, i know this isnt the "working attitude" and will be frowned upon, but to tell the truth i lve my ferrets and id be devestated if i ever lost one, as when you handle them for an hour a day from 8 weeks old, i personally got bloody attached to them
  4. as i let the hob stuff himself full of heart, when he did find a jill he was more interesterd in harassing it that any potential meal that may be down the hole, this is what i think happened any way
  5. i wenty out ferreting yesterday, and used a new hob i have aquired. i think gthe fact that the hobs and jills have never met each other helped, as when all the rabbits bolted and the jills were still down, i put in the hob and he seemed to pester the jills and they all came running out making ferret noises. by using this technique, i didnt get one lie up, and for this time of year with kits about, i thought this was quite a good result. i also let the ferrets stuff themselves on ox heart the night before to make sure they were stuffed and would not eat underground, and i also think this helped
  6. hello all, i am visiting an agricultural show in a few weeks to show my poultry and i noticed there will be a ferret show there as well. i thought i would enter my 2 to give them a bit of entertainment and also stop the boredom of waiting around while the fowl is being judged. my ferts are roughly 4-5 months old but are quite big as i have onlyh fed them on fresh carcass meat since i got them, and i believe this has attributed to them shooting up in size! but do i enter into the kit or adult class? and before anyone has a go, my ferrets are working animals and that is their primary purpose, b

  13. my ferrets were off a freind that literally held them the second they were born, he was there with the jill when she was giving birth and he was holding one kit while another popped out. now the kits cant be handled enough, they run up to the front of the cage and when i open the door they jump on my knee to be stroked. even wehn i feed them fresh rabbit they will run to put it in a corner they run back eager to not lose a second of being stroked eating. and he had 24 kits! but the moral of the story was that he was prepared to handle each and every kit and make it so tame and freindly, even w
  14. the rabbits arnt going to bolt with that shit music playing
  15. i thought it wasnt a bad programme, the lads knew what they were doing and knew it was illegal so they knews the penalty. joel
  16. whats the hassle? do the ferrets get mauled? not arguing just asking and anybody else feel free to add good or bad points ideas etc thanks
  17. hello all, i have recently been reading a lot of brian plummers books and he is very centered about ratting with ferrets. he seems very experienced in the practice and seems to know his stuff. i would be interested in doing it and what i want to know is anybody still doing it or ever done it and what are experiences etc. have things changed like the toughness of ferrets etc? thanks. joel.

  19. ffew pics of my dog he is 3/4 patterdale 1/4 border and he has been castrated that is why he is a bit spindly. he was bought as a pet his sire is worker (not below ground) nd his mum is a pet. i use him forr working he is great at ratting and bushing but [bANNED TEXT] he bushes it is a bit pointless because i have no lurcher or similar to catch them!! but his prey drivee is exceptional. atb joel p.s. i know his collar looks a bot tight but he used too wear a harness so the furn on his shoulder area is longer and rougher
