andyp 9 Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Has any one lost a ferret in the Bawtry area?. My next door neighbours dog grabbed hold of one today when it shot out in front of them while she was walking down a bridle path, she was absolutely devastated to see the poor thing on the ground so she brought it round to me as she knows we keep them to see if there was anything that could be done,the poor thing was in shock so it was given some water, and wrapped it one of my T shirts,it seemed to liven up for a while, then it went downhill very quickly and went into a coma, and quickly passed away, unfortunately it was just too late. Dook on little one. I buried him along side ours out in the field at the back of our house and left a marker for it. Deepest sympathies if it was yours, but if i lost any of mine i would like to know what happened. Andy Quote Link to post

Mooching Celt 659 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Seen no end killed on the Bawtry to Finningley road when i've been down there running out of the quarry in the waggon, stopped a few times and had a look (mainly to see if any had a collar on) and usually they were hobs but seen a couple of jills though. Some deep sandy warrens round there and it seems some people don't bother with a collar and give them up as lost. Must be a fair population of ferals round there now Quote Link to post

Must be a fair population of ferals round there now I know what you mean, i have seen hundreds of the dark coloured variety dead on the roads around here over the past few years, even spotted a couple of feral ferrets running in and out of rabbit holes last year, but this is the first time i have ever seen a "non polecat " type. When we checked it there was no ticks or fleas on it, it seemed a good old age as its teeth were opaque with some tartar on them, but by god it smelled, but that could have been where it skunked when it was bitten.
