I have two little girls who are desperate to have some baby ferret. Am only mating the one as she is so good natured. Will only keep a couple and give the rest away. Im sure they'll be very well handled by the time my kids have finished with them. Quote Link to post

droid 11 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Not all Rescues refuse to rehome to working homes. Given the state of many rescues it's be rather inadvisable IMHO. If you're worried about getting a kit bred from a worker then tell the Rescue owner. A significant proportion of their annual influx is from workers, so if it means that much I'm sure they could accommodate you. If there's a local Rescue, they'd probably welcome a few rabbits, too Quote Link to post

I have found someone with a nice working hob who isnt too far from me. I want a litter for a few reasons. Firstly I want some young workers to replace mine as they get older. I have a lovely little jill who I'd like to breed from. It will be good for my small children to understand what goes into having a litter and a good experience for them. I'm not expecting to make any money from this and am more than happy to keep the entire litter myself if there are no suitable homes available. To those that feel I should rehome rescue ferrets.....its not my responsibility to do that. I'm responsible for the one litter I'd like to have this year and as such am completely happy to keep them all if need be. I went to my local rspca rescue centre a couple of years ago looking for a jill and they wouldnt let me have one as it would be worked!!! Quote Link to post
droid 11 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 That's good. Because 1) you won't make any money, and 2) You probably won't get shut of the kits. As long as you're prepared to keep up to 12 kits, it's OK then, isn't it? Quote Link to post
The one 8,467 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I find you usually get rid of the jill kitts no problem but your left with a load of hob kitts nobody wants so its no worth the bother breeding my ferrets Quote Link to post
