Guest The Big Fish Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 During the summer, we use ours for racing! We put minature saddles on them, then our special "jockey mice" ride em home Yeeeeee Haaarrrrr!!! Quote Link to post
Guest Dale Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 i once heard of cable men using them to pull certain cables through pipes , i dont know how true it is though , Dale Quote Link to post
Hob&Jill 258 Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 When my mums cats bring in a mouse and somehow manage to let it go, I stick the Ferrets in the room and watch, great fun watching them hunt it lol. Quote Link to post
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Dale; Perfectly true, mate. Though, obviously, the ferret takes a light line which they then use to drag a heavier line or the cable itself back through with. I was once asked to stand by for just such a job myself. Well; My ferret anyway. For me, the greatest 'other' use for my ferrets was pulling girls! Seriously! I'd just go out of a night with a ferret - poley coloured was best. 'Cuter' - riding on my collar. Never failed to catch some sweeties eye and get me into a conversation with an already charmed female Doubt it'd still work somehow. Not at my age Quote Link to post

Guest craftycarper Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 I think i remember ferrets being used to pull cabling through pipework at wherever charles and di got married, might have been westminster or whatever, i think it was for the tv coverage. Quote Link to post

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 hey ditch what about putting it down your trousers it may work Did that in support of 'Band Aid', mate. I honestly don't know if I still have any of the photo's knocking about here, since I moved again? Raised a good few quid in my old local though. Only time I ever did it Stinking of piss must be a real turn on for some bitch's.. Naah. Seriously; They never let me down in that respect. I used to put them on the ground every now and then and allow them to back up into some corner for all that. In fact - to my eternal shame and regret - I seriously believe I may well have been the stupid c*** responsible for the whole craze of walking bloody ferrets on leads! Did that thirty odd years ago and ended up in the local paper. Within five years or so it was all the rage in Chelsea! I'll carry that one to my grave Quote Link to post
