Bit of a odd question but does anyone know of a good magazine for ferreters? The latest shooting times had a bit but I have only bought it once as I normally buy airgun world (my transition from airguns to ferrets was quite recent), cheers.

I remember I was shooting one day and I was walking along a hedge looking over it at the quarry in the fields, and out of nowhere a big ldv van with a chimney on top plled up with hippies in it. They were having a go about how people like us damage the countryside and they are trugging around in a old van with more smoke coming from it than the flying scotsman, I was like just go and chill and smoke some jamaican woodbine. Anyways I caught them parked in a field so it took the massey 390 and parked awkward by the gate and they got stuck.

Ai your right bramble, I was on a site that were talking about putting clothes on ferrets and stuff, and when I mentioned hunting they went ballistic. To be honest a ferret would not be my ideal pet, a fluffy hamster would. To me a ferret is a working animal that has a good trait and can provide for you. My mate went to the rspca rescue to get a stunning nearly all black hob to work and breed to try and get the colours, and they went ballistic about ferreting and hunting, it`s like what??

Ye i suppose I was a kid when i had some nut on holiday in the village I used to live shouting at me I was only 14 so I wasn`t happy plus he called me compo of last of summer wine. This forum is superb, there is only a small community were i live so there is only a couple of us ferreting, but I can get bang on info from you guys on here. Don`t suppose you know of a good hunting magazine that contains a lot of ferreting? Shooting times had a bit last week from simon pakfield ferrets.

Just to clear up any misunderstanding as I said before, My dad would get me grown on ferrets that had a distemper jab. I have never owned kits before so I dont want to "spoil" them. As all my previous ferrets were good workers, I stopped ferreting when I started toying with air rifles, but it`s not the same buzz as using ferrets, Ferreting is like having a gun with a unique humurious personality that points itself and shoots itself. Because it`s such a traditional thing were i live out in the country. Does anyone get stick? Just because when I was younger me and some mates were working some fe

Cheers for that, How much does sniping cost roughly? And another thing as reading from your post you seem like a pro what do you think of ferret finders, as I met a guy with a eu polecat the other day who had a 7 metre string attached to the collar and used a ferret finder. But he said its pants working hedges and banks as you cant dig above some of them.

Cheers for the advice butty, My mate with a pointer is going to get me some rabbits for them. Tell me if what lines i am thinking on is right, If I get my hob friday, keep him with my jills, around dec see if he`s ready for the snip, Get another hutch, get the snip done and then re introduce after 2 months. I just don`t want to balls. I dont want to end up with more kits cos I will end up keeping them,lol. Cheers again for advice that is bang-on. The old boy I deal with and do a bit of ferreting says that advice from the ferreters mouth is pedigree proven through and through, he is spot-on.

Sorry stubby, My dad had a mate with ferrets and he would give me a 1-2 year old that had had a distemper jab and had been sniped or neutered. Cheers

Cheers for more info, its not straight forward mind is it? Looks like i will need another hutch then soon, can i introduce him as soon as i get him to the jills and just keep an eye on them until the season comes? Or do I need to keep him away from the jills altogether until he gets sniped. And another thing is when I handle the kits they go mental and want to nip me, as were my old ferrets from before were quite content in my hands. Do they calm down? It`s quite funny at the time mind. .

Cheers for the advice, I dont plan to have any litters and I only have one hutch, Should i get my jills neutered or something? I thought by getting a vasectomised hob it would be cheaper than having my jills done every year. And any advice on the distemper jab. Its just the scariest thing ever would be a litter next year as I dont have the time or money for them at the mo,(just bought a house). The lucky thing is i have roughly 240 cres of forest and farm land in my garden. So as to working the buggers im alright. I dont want to come across clueless but I have never had care issues with my fer

Hi all. Im new to this site so I wonder if some of you guys can Help as the conversation on here is so much better than any other forum that talk about ferrets as pets not working animals. I have just got back in to ferreting after roughly 6 years. I have always owned 1 ferret at a time and because I was young my dad used to get them for me and they were grown on and had all there jabs. Right at this moment in time I have just aquired a pair of 13 week old jills, I have been spending several hours a day with them getting used to kits not big old ferrets. My problem is I am picking up a beautif
