    What's the best size fox trap to use, I've been looking at 48 inch and x large 61 inch long cage traps? Do you use the 48inch with success?

    Hi is there anyone in the West Midlands area, South West Birmingham, shooting foxes, as I have a fox problem and don't have the means to dispatch them.

    I was told of a local vets that would do a castration for under £40, does it significantly reduce their smell when there castrated? As the hob I have stinks quite a bit lol

    Whats the reasons behind people choosing to have a vasectomy rather than castration with there hobs? I've read you can use a a ferret that's had a vasectomy to bring a jill out of season, is this not possible with a castrated hob? Also do people think the ferret looses it's hunting edge once castrated? Sorry for all the questions I was wondering as new to ferret ownership.

    I was in wilko earlier getting some more hay and saw this so I've got some to try, anyone else use it? I put some down he tried it but prefers his chicken wings.

    I've checked on him and he's still with us, and the tick in his ear as come off so looks like the spot on did the trick, gave him some more chicken that his tucking into now so he's still got his appetite

    Well I've just bathed him, I thought he might have freaked out and gone for me, but he seemed to enjoy it. I've put some frontline on and put him back in his pen with some more chicken hopefully he'll be OK and that tick will die off!

    I've had a go at the ticks this morning, found five removed four but one is in his ear. I don't know how I'm gonna get that out he won't keep his head still long enough to get a grip of it. Any ideas?

    Well the Mrs came back with chicken wings so he's tucking into that now. Thanks for the help guys. Any other advice or info will be appreciated cheers.

    Well where he's being kept used to house my daughters bunny lol he's got some fresh hay down and sawdust which I had left from before the bunny died lol he's curled up in it and got a water feeder and bowl of water and he will have a drumstick once the Mrs gets back from the shop. So he seems OK, just the ticks that were worrying me. But I suppose they are a hazard to working ferrets. I was worried about the ticks breading in my garden and my dogs picking them up though that's why I want to treat it asap.

    I've had a good look at him now and he has at least 3 ticks, I've ordered o'tom tick twister, but could I use frontline cat spot on for fleas and ticks on him as I have some to hand? I'm also gonna go get some chicken drum sticks will one a day be sufficient?

    Thanks for the supportive comments. I found the ferret whilst out this morning strolling across the road. I've no experience with ferrets nor had any intention of getting one, but at present I have one and when I said it's in a cage it's actually a two tier hen house with run. I was looking for information urgently as stated regarding food an such as I don't know when it was last fed.... Thanks again.
  16. PJWmids
    How many drum sticks would he eat a day?
  17. PJWmids
    Could I put cat frontline on it I have some to hand?
  18. PJWmids
    Cheers

    Is it OK to use straw or hay as bedding or shredded paper?
  20. PJWmids
    I've acquired a ferret this morning got him in a cage but not sure what I can feed it, I've got dogs and cats can I give it some dog or cat food? Any help appreciated as I have no experience with ferrets, the other thing is I think it's got a tick on it what household stuff can I use to remove it? Cheers for any info.

    Good break barrel rifles Well made back in the day. Used to shoot alot with my brothers when I was a kid. He still owns his and shot with him recently and was as good as if not better than my hw99s which has been tuned.

    You must have a few, I find when there coming out in the light the numbers are getting bigger and fighting for food. The younger ones tend to come out early aswell til you start popping them off. I leave them at my stables a few months let the numbers grow then have a few weekends taking the numbers back down. Love a bit of ratting!

    Reading this info about shooting between heart beats has got me thinking, I guess if your fit you have an advantage, that being a lower resting heart rate, if your resting heart rate is 50 beats a minute compared to someone who had a resting heart rate of 90 beats a minute. Your going to have a slightly longer break period between beats to pull that trigger. So lay off the fags before you go shooting lol ?

    I'd change the probe o ring first you can do it yourself cheap fix if it works.
