Greyhound ferret?


Recommended Posts


Here in Hampshire I hear the term “whippet ferret†all the time, I’ve been out with the boys and to be honest the “whippet ferrets†always look half starved to me. ! :(

 

My last litter produced 7 good hard working jills, to look at them you would never believe they were sisters, the difference in size is noticeable, this is either a fluke of nature or certain jills are more dominant in their feeding habits :thumbs-up:

 

My observations only.

i've heard of greyhound ferrets, and like FL says, they were long thin ones. personally i think girth is more important than length ;) :whistle: :laugh:

Good point smudger, i have had a dozon ferrets in a court in the past & it became evident to me that one smaller hob was not being allowed to eat what he wanted, he wasnt skin & bone by any means ,but the 4 jills in the court ruledb the roost & i noted the behaviour more so after the V hob had done his job. :)

 

Dragging him away from the food & generally doing what hormonal jills do, but once i removed him & another older hob & placed them in a cage of there own he put on weight & soon became his old self again

 

But i think just the feel of a ferret tells you a lot, older ferrets feel boney as i suspect when they become less active they loose muscle ?
