hi used to breed wild polecats,both my jills lived to seven and eight years they were found in a wall down in pembrokeshire i have bred from them for years ,i found the offspring very nervous even the last couple of litters i bred, i never used the jills for rabbitting because of how nervous they were,its nice to have a first cross polecat but only for the looks ,you will be lucky if it becomes a great hunting animal,mine would be the first to any carcass i would put in the hutches but again they were nervous animals,i was only bitten once and i had three stiches in a nasty wound,you really have to know your animals,one of the jills bit me just after i put a rabbit carcass in the hutch,a tetanus and three stiches are not good on a late sunday evening, i have wrote articles on the polecats ,in both the countrymans weekly and also the earth dog running dog,at the time i had trhe polecats i also had a good working strain of greyhound ferrets,lucky enough i gave a mate some youngsters and his son have kept the line going i have just ahd two lovely jills of him,all the bes.t

This is a pic of my part wild poleys the mother is a 75% wild polecat brought up from the gloucester area and the father is a 100% DNA tested welsh polecat.

So far they are very tractable but time will tell, should have a head start though as i have handled the from 3 days old (after removing the mother to a seperate box as she would have put a pissed off wolverine to shame)

[jonathan 0]

what do you want it for . Diffidently not for ferreting . and if you like the color of them why didn't you get a poly and they work-well

:ph34r: Basically because someone told me it could not be done!

That is to produce a handlable mainly wild polecat, so when i get told things like that i have to have a go!

 

ain't got the name ferret tamer for nowt

had ferrets brought in here that were totally feral and sent them out tame as kittens.
