if you can hold your ferrets long enough / still enough I rub the tick round in circles 20 - 30 seconds later tick lets go and tries running away grab the fecker and bash it vet showed me how to do it about 4 years ago when took my dog in for jabs and she found it works a treat atb aaron

I bought a small hob from melton mowbray auction when i was about 15-16 and after the sale (I bought it for a £1) the seller came over for a chat and told me it was 50% polecat too. I do believe it because it was extremely dark colour (almost black all over) and never acted like a ferret and it never seemed to tame down entirely and it gave me the worst bites I have ever had off a 'ferret'. Anyway apart from being small for a polecat it was every part a wilder ferret and it turned out to be useless for working. So just to warn you, if you get one anything like mine you are going to have to sp

I bought two hob ferrets about 3 weeks ago supposedly 1/2 polecat whether that is true or not I don't know all I an say is that every polecat coloured ferret i've seen has had more of a white undercoat where as these are more yellowy colour. like a true wild polecat we used to see when my grand father had a chicken farm I don't really care if they are 1/2 polecat im just after decent working line of ferret but they look more like one atb bb

i have a little lurcher, his mother was 1/2 beddy 1/4 whippet 1/4 greyhound and his father was 3/8 bull 5/8 whippet, you can work it out if you like but he's a shade off half terrier, he made 19" tts, not much taller than a long legged jrt. its been his first season this season and i cant falt his nose when he wants to mark that is but hay he's still a pup really atb bud aaron

i think its a nice looking hutch bud but personally i would buy the wood and do it myself for that sort of money, i understand some people aint as handy as others. but if you have a tape messure, screwdriver, hammer and a hand saw then i would have a bash at making one myself atb aaron

cheers lads, seems i have been giving them a hole rabbit between them and its going off before they finish prehaps, i read somewhere that ferrets need to be fed every day but mine dont seem too. think i should start feeding them like i feed my dogs enough to keep them at a healthy weight and slightly more after days outing. thanks for the replys much appreciated aaron

fair play mate trying to catch bolting rabbits with a fishing net. i would save your money and get some purse nets bud. i dont have a locator and not had to dig YET. i use my mates when he comes with me which is good because you can tell if the ferret is still moving under ground atb though matey aaron

just a quick question lads how often do you feed your ferrets ? ive got 2 gills and a hob in the same hutch, more often than not fed on meat / rabbit, pigeon, crows the odd squirrel and moles. Im finding they are waisting food dont get me wrong i dont pile there hutch with it. just how do you tell when their hungry ??

my staff did this to her due claw while bushing out once, i just let it grow out and now keep on top of them triming them when needed, i mentioned it to the vet when get the pups injections and she said there isnt much else i could of done or theyd do unless it got infected that is. atb aaron
