    In that case we are going to need 13986 different names for all the shades of polecat. Polecats are black these are brown sandy colour. Surely they are sandy with black or dark markings which usually include a mask across the eyes? Polecats are not black all over - they display varying amounts of dark markings. This is a polecat ferret - http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/gallery/files/7/3/9/024.JPG I'd love to hear other folks opinion. Just out of interest? I didnt mean pure black i meant black nd white nd brown nd white.

    Good luck just dont give her more that 1 egg a week as it can cause hair loss.
  14. ferretertom
    Its common for them to come in season after having kits mine did 3 times in a year,sawdust can cause servere respiratory/breathing problems in ferrets woodshaveings are better.

    ok im a complete novice and what do you mean put eggs under.cant i just buy a few finches i like,then if they breed they breed.im guessing this is a complicated hobby. Well its all up to you realy dont plundge in at the deepend. With the eggs again up to you, basicly its the same as you do with chicken eggs you can swap them under a broody bird so the british will then lay about 4 more this would increase your numbers the canary will rear the chicks as her own. And when you buy any ritish birds make sure they have been ringed.

    Werll there not the easyest to start with but youl get out what you put in, they arent always the cheepest. You may find it may be worth keeping a few canary hens to put eggs under in spring when there on nests this way you can maximise you numbers off one pair of british birds but dont forget they have to be close rung.

    Better idea dont breed it at all theres plenty unwanted about so whats the point in the hassle.

    Has your hob been vasectomised (still got balls) or castrated (no balls) if theyve mated it should take a week you will see them slowly go off season.
  20. ferretertom
    My mate just brought one of these think it a cross but i call him a poof for getting one apparantly they cant always rear there own young.
  21. ferretertom
