Ruger8 0 Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Many years ago a can remember buying ferrets off Abbot bros and having to turn up at the nearest railway station to pick them up. I also believe you could purchase dogs and other animals and collect from the local station. This obviously is not the wisest thing to do, buy unseen. However does this facility still remain ? could i buy a ferrret or pup from the other side of the country, or indeed send a dog or pup to the other side of the country, or is this a thing of the past ? just curious !

Ruger8 0 Posted April 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 i was always curious about their set up...... if i remember , they were guaranteed to work ! i had a few off them, the ones i had never bit, and almost all were good workers. Someone once told me they were fed totally on whole rabbit, thats probably why they worked well. They were always in the exchange and mart, year old workers, 2 year old workers small medium or large lol and think they did bantoms and chickens aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
