My First Ferrets


Recommended Posts

Got my first ferrets this weekend.

 

3 Hobs, a 9 week old poley coloured off "Big-Bailey" who is a really sound bloke and sorted me out with a cracking 2 tier hutch. And then 2 little albinos off a local lad.

 

The size difference for 3 weeks is unreal, here's a quick photo...

Cheers for replys lads.

 

Can't wait get out and work them. And yeh bailey we will deffo have a day out over winter.

 

All my mates have got Jills so it will be nice to have a few Hobs to push put any bigger stuff that Jills might struggle with.

 

And yeh this poley is gonna be a big lad I think.

 

All the best.

:thumbs: look good gaz, hows the pup with them?

 

At the moment he hasn't seen much of them, they are in he front garden and he is in the back, mainly because the terrier would kill herself trying to get to them. But she is being rehomed Monday to one of my mates (for other reasons) so I will be putting the ferret hutch round the back with Rocky.

 

He will be okay with them I think. Took him to the hutch yesterday and he was more interested in going for a walk than them, lol.

 

How's Magik doing?

22" is a good height for ferreting bitch aint it mate. And glad to hear she has settled with stock again. Rocky is 24.5", i think he might squeeze 25" tts as he is still growing slowly. I have almost nailed the retrieve now aswell so well chuffed.

 

And i know what you mean about endless energy. The other day we did a 5 mile jog first thing in the morning, then we went for a mooch at about 8pm and did a good 8 mile if not more and he was like he hadnt been for a walk when we got home :-0 lol. Should be a good thing once the season kicks in :thumbs:

 

Speak soon buddy.
