I have two older ferrets that I doubt will survive this winter and I'll miss them when they go. I completely trust these two The hob has outlived his litter brother by 2 years and the Jill a litter sister by 3 years and I find it's incredible that at 7 years old, long long past the typical lifespan of polecats in the wild, and despite their obvious tumours and associated thyroid swelling both those old ferrets are still keen to get out and do their thing very well .

I did post this in the 'Hunting Equipment' section but have had no replies so thought i'd try here... I'm looking for a good quality two piece spade/shovel for ratting and ferreting. Looking for quality steel, robust and well made. If the pieces can be put on a sling to wear over my back, all the better. If there are any lads knocking them out to order please let me know. Cheers.

My little doe has finally had her kits around a week ago their mum is a great little hunter but also a great pet she is proud of them and i have been close to them but still keeping a distance from them at this stage hopefully if i can get 3 to 4 bucks for new stock I will be happy with that . My question is I have in the past put my young ones to work with their mum at around 6 months old is that a bit to early. Second of all I will keep one of her daughters for breading as milly is getting old . With the older ones I will pass them on as pets as that are friendly when handheld but do hunt

Is it necessary for ferrets to have there injections I have 3 and it’s going to cost me 160 pound for the first course and then I have to pay another 160 for a second. I don’t work them I just have them for when I kill pigeons and rabbits so the kill doesn’t go to waste.

I’ve got a 8 week old male ferret and I’m going to have him castrated, will he be allowed to be in my cage with my hob who’s intact. It’s a big cage and there’s a Jill in there too. If I can’t keep him in there will he be able to stay in there for a while until I get a new cage

Evening all, this year I am finally in a position to be able to get my own ferrets. as you can imagine I have a couple of questions. Although I have been/done ferreting in the past (although not recently) I am no expert. 1st off when’s best to buy ferret kits. I believe the summer time is best from what I remember but in between which months, if there is “set months” 2nd is there anyone in Kent on here who breeds ferrets to sell on? also any other tips when getting my first couple of ferrets would be much appreciated. Ta. Adam.

I put my gill with a hob on the 22 of March and she was with him for 7 days with swollen vagina, she’s in her own cage now and she’s hiding food and when I go to get it because I don’t want it to rot she bites my hand and fingers, her vulva has also shrunk and gone all wrinkly, sometimes she makes a small nest but then she just burrows under neath the paper I have in there. Is she pregnant?? It’s been 13 days since I put her with the hob

I have a male and female that I want to breed, the thing is the male is much smaller than the female, when I see him trying to mount her his penis is basically hitting her back and she just throws him off. How long should I let him continue to try and get her pregnant until I need to have her taken to get a Jill jab because I know leaving her in season is bad for her health
