Another bloody ferret :)

[catchwrestler 31]

Don't know about you lot but in my area i can guarantee that if someone finds a lost ferret my name comes up pretty fast

Cue phone call about 6 o clock yesterday :

 

ME " hello "

STRANGER " alrite mate have you lost a ferret "

ME " No "

STRANGER " do you want one "

ME " not particularly "

STRANGER " Well i don't know what to do with it , i've got it trapped in the shed "

ME " how did you get my number by the way "

STRANGER " bloke round the corner from me "

ME " >sighing< Ok give me the address i'll pop round "

 

I went and picked up the polecat hob after i had some tea , he looked a bit bedraggled and was in need of a good meal but have put him in my quarantine hutch for now and put a advert in the local paper and notified all the vets in case the owner is looking for him .

He's a friendly little fella and i don't mind i just wish people wouldn't automatically ring me everytime a lost ferret turns up !!!

And just who is the bloke round the corner and how does he know my bloody number !!

Good on you mate where would they be without you

[CarraghsGem 92]

know how ya feel used ta happen to me a lot, onetime i got a call from the local pub, there was one inside the bar.... help!

went to the pub to find everyone stood on barstools, including the hardass who ran the place caught it, it was a small jill... pure feral, then it managed to twist around in my hand and bit me the girl nearest me nearly ran out the door while i swore at the ferret, it was like something you'd see on tom and jerry

It's mostly stopped now but there was a time when EVERY fecker who found anything remotly ferret related, including the police, would drop them by my place. Even if i was not in. As a result often came home to find an upside down bucket or similar with a brick on top, places in the garage. Only problem is one day some fecker had trapped a mink, and that was what greeted me when i lifted the bucket.

Yeah my grandad is the sort of person that wants things that he see's he took a look at my 4 ferrets and said I want one he got one on a Monday and on the next day Tuesday he phoned me a asked if I would take it as he don't want it any more and normally I would but I refused so he gave it to my uncles mother in law he does it all the time he got two tropical birds maccaws and got rid of them a week later he has no patience I am sick of it he come up to see my saluki x pup a few weeks ago and said he wanted one

Ay i see what your saying but i quarantine them in a spare hutch for a week or so and nip em to the vets first chance i get !

Quick update on him , he's coming on well very very calm and obviously well handled but not a single reply from the local rag or from the signs i put up so i guess he's mine now

Hopefully see what he's like this season , i'll say one thing the boy can eat for England !!!

He's had a whole pigeon to himself today and half a bowl of biscuits !

My best/ favourite worker was found by my neighbour in rat holes in his garden so i said id take her. Never looked back. The way i see it, if a ferret can live in rat holes for some time it must be feeding itself and in turn a good worker. She hates rats with a passion, if there one in my cage trap shel do everything she can to get at it.
