bert the fert 28 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 One of my jills is tiny. After her summer moult she looked like a scrap of nowt ! So much so that she's been nicknamed " Little Tot ". She's a tetchy fecker mind, and i reckon she's got bigger bollox than both my hobs I'll try and take a pic of her tomorrow. Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Aye they do and do not exist. Small ferrets can be selectively bred but it means different things to different people. How small is small - i have a jill thats half the size of one of my other jills but i wouldn't think of her as 'pencil' or 'micro' as i wouldn't call the other one my 'badger ferret' or 'giant ferret'. Once they start getting names they become marketable as a must have ferreting accessory. jmo anyways . . . . Quote Link to post
