Squrrels never fight with a ferret,they just bolt straight away,had no problems with squirrel bites affecting the dogs at all? They can inflict some damage on a dog though.Had over 50 in the last year with the catty/lurcher 1 Quote Link to post

biskit 7 Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 I'd shoot them. Wouldn't let my dogs near them not sure how true it is but heard of dogs dying from squirrel bites my lurcher's have been bitten loads by them and never had any probs I heard that, but my staff's never had any problems. My old terrier use to get bit by the first one it caught in spring every year,no side affects ever but never remembered the bite from the previous year and always got bit . Quote Link to post
bushing lad 114 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Mine catch them when they stray too far from the tree when mooching about. Or just knock them out of the tree with a stone or something. Quote Link to post
