He is still a little scared of the ferrets he is only a year old so is still traing just thinking of the future really he has been around sheep horses and cows (not interested in them just walks past even off the lead). I still have a lot to learn! ant wait to find someone to go with and learn hands on though!!!!

None of my 3 ferrets have had ticks or my 4 cats (had my cats for 4 years and previous to that kept cats at my parents and never had tics we lived right next to fields as I do now) I dettol the hutches down every 2 weeks just dettol and water in a squirty bottle reduces flys and keeps pests away (fleas ticks etc) for bedding they have shavings hay and some material like old jeans cut up or some cheap material from fabric shop (left in a meter square) they love making a nest with it!!! I also treat them with beaphar Anti-Parasite Spot On!!!!

My 1 year old male nips every now and then when he gets over excited but I have got used to it my two 5 month olds love play fighting with my hands but have never drawn blood I have found my jill to be really gentle and my hobs a little nuts now and then!!!! Handling is the key!!!

I know a fella in Clay Cross that works his ferrets and was giving some away as he has had a few litters I will give him a ring and see if he has any left then message you his number if he has and its ok with him!!!!

I have a couple of farmers my mate knows that have said they will give me written permission also my partners uncle has a field riddled with rabbits that he wants getting rid of as they are sinking one corner of his shed (do I need any other kind of permission? ) I have no equipment yet except their carry box and harnesses ( we are still struggling a little with getting them on any hints or tips?)! Any suggestions on books or dvd's? Also I wondered if a Manchester Terrier would be good to take along? Thanks Kayleigh

Glad to hear that just wondered if anyone was local to me or there were any clubs locally!?!?!
