  1. three days of ferreting on the belt on new permission finally paid off with a big un! after being wet on day one and having to chase the dog on day two,day three started off more promising. no rain this morning ( an added bonus) but at 8am a thick fog started to roll down the valley and i thought it was gonna be another pants day. then the sun came up and burnt it off pretty quickly. so i dodged the farmer ( otherwise i wouldnt get to lay a net, he can talk for england lol ) and hoofed up the valley to a bit of land i noticed yesterday that looked promising. many nets later, nearly every
  2. sounds like we need a recipe board pinned lads!! lol
  3. could you put a picture up bud as we have recently treat a ferret with a swollen stomach and it was liver problems
  4. start small. a few nets a trusty ferret and a spade and the first thing you gotta get is confidence. small sets, a handful of nets and a bit of patience till you see if you like it. then you can add gear bit by bit then you will need a 4x4 to carry all the crap lol
  5. always thought it would be great if some clever person could bring out a micro chip than is imbedded into the ferrets neck that transmits a signal to a box would be so more comfortable for a ferret
  6. here we go again........................................................same story different day
  7. i rescued one last year she had an abcess that came up treat it,went down, came back up again kept her going and eventually she gave up. i agree with raw too many closley related ferrets these days seems to be weakening some ferret lines. for the non serious ferreter this can have disastrous results in years to come. even now i hear of deformed ferrets regually, kits being born with three legs etc etc. someone i no was dumped with a litter of 14 deformed kits last season. i wish people would leave the breading to people who no what there doing and dont interbreed
  8. because my ferrets are getting on in years i rescued a ferret a month ago and decided to give her a look out to see if she was any good. as she had come into me covered in ticks i had a funny feeling that there was a possibility that she had been worked before. slept in this morning and got myself in the usual paddy with the wife as i was losing valuable ferreting time cause i was late,went down to the chicken shed,chucked them a handful of food and was off. was not amused when i was driving up to my permission as the sky's looked heavy and a wind was whipping up but when i arrived it was li

  12. a 3ft 6 ins net........yeah not a problem!!! BUT has anyone ever stopped to ask the width dimension of a net? simple answer in my opinion is no with many net sellers on fleabay and on here i have looked at them all and with some you can get a net for £1.60 which seems like a good idea at the time does anyone realize that it comes with a width dimension of 13 meshes and that's it. the rabbits seem to be getting bigger where we are and im not really sure if a net that is only 13 meshes wide could catch a buck or even a larger doe. the main idea of a purse net is to have plenty of b
