I haven't breed any for 2yrs, and I'me not breeding this year, only breed when I need some, but still can,t rehome the hobs. Been breeding my own for 50yrs, I know thier temperament and working ability, seen to many with skittish iffy temperaments and dubious working ability to just take any old ferret. At the end of the day your useing killing to control rabbits for practical and economic reasons, the same with the ferrets, practical as in houseing them and economical as in that with the amount of livestock I've got you wouldn't wan't my feed bill.
