    Should be easy to find out wait till the season starts and when you see anybody with one foot out trying to get rabbits ul have found them and your boot. Try jbsnets

    It is not a wise move to let your jill stay in season, Think about it (can every person who has wrote a book be wrong aswell as all the vets and the biggest majority of ferret owners) No they are not wrong the truth is if you leave your jill in season she will start by prancing up and down her cage day and night while she is desperate to find a male, then she will; start to loose hair around her rear end and also loose alot of body condition, and is running a great risk of getting aplastic anemia (bone marrow disease) if left in this state, yes i have known people who have left there jill for

    Both the mkt 1 and the mkt 3 are good where the mkt 3 is solid and waterproof and has a search and locate mode on them it will however only pick up mkt 3 collars, Where the mrk1 will pick up any collar, it is still a first class bit of kit but as said hard to get repairs done now.

    He was found in a womans garden, prob been out hunting and left or escaped but as i run a rescue was handed over to me.

    ferrets like this Hob : i pump 3 sprays onto latex gloves and rub hands together then rub up and down the ferret, then after 7 days bath the ferret if andy is still on the ferret i will repeat this one more time. But if it is a single Tic then just remove by turning anti clockwise and pull, then id just give the one spray on gloves to make sure that any eggs are killed aswell as any fleas .

    Yes breeding brither to sister has been done before but would strongly advise not too. Just because they are both good workers dont mean that the young they produce will be, infact breeding this close can ofeten throw genetic defects such as deformed limbs ie no tail or a leg missing, or problems longer term with there health. But if you a keen ferreter and wish to start a good solid line of your own then id say dont do it and get a hob from else where to breed from.

    What is doohan saying about this dog is it one from his lines, if so at the least it be great for marking.
  19. wullieh
    Was out just before xmas and bolted a few young ones but think the snow took care of them as not seen any young in that area since, on our other permissions it was late jan early feb before we were catching does with young in them and prob early march when bolted our first young one. But one thing i have noticed that with our permissions being upto 45 miles apart you notice how one area you can have young but know it be atleast another 6 to 8 weeks before the next area will have them, has anybody else came across this.

    It's the spca in balerno mate R.S.S.P.C.A is the english verson, and i think you will find they have sort of changed there policy now if you say they are for working or breeding they will turn you away, normally with my number for the rescue but they do bring ferret to me too when they are over crowded i must get on ave 20 a yr from them and they know that i will rehome to working homes, but this dont bother them, but as i said they will not rehome any now from any of there centres to work or breeding homes.

    Why not buy them a Hammock, as it will be starting to get warm now ans this way they have the choice, mine lounge in the hammoks during the day but go in the nest boxes at night. but cracking job otherwise mate.
  22. wullieh
    Why not just get him vasectomised? as if he is neutered you will still have to deal with your jill every time she comes into season, atleast if he was vasectomised then he will do this job for you, the ave cost of getting a hob Neuterd varies from £45 to £60 and getting a vasectomey is about the same i just paid £61.30 each when i just got two done back in feb, jills to be neutered will cost anything from £55 to £75 just have to phone round the vets mate.

    wullieh old ground here ferrets with waardenberg's does nt mean the ferret is deaf although it can be in some cases and equally a deaf ferret does nt neccessarily have to have waardenburgs Y.I.S Leeview your right, but ferrets with the white stripe are carriers of waarenberg syndrome and have higher chance of being deaf than the std ferret.

    Then if it is only the hob that is in season then remove him. as for colours, taken nothing for gospal and trying it myself i found that you get a mixed batch. this was in my younger days, litter of 7 with only 2 managing to live and one was a polecat coloured the other was a dark silver, but the dark silver turned out to be totaly deaf. and until this breeding i had never lost any kits out of my breeding. and any brreing that i have done since has only seenthe odd one die ie the runt of the litter. Silvers used to be bred as they were uncommon and you would get folk paying up to £50

    Got an old dew jill that is near 11 but even though i tried to work her she was very poor, totaly deaf, so gave up working her, she is now showing signs of cancer in the lymphonima gland so doubt she be with me much longer.
