CWN-HELA 228 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Like it say above? I had my 2 jill kits out to day for the first time. They both bolted 3 rabbits each but only got 4, one slipped the net and the other bolted under the thick cover. The ferrets had some well deserved rabbit when got back and then i aint seen them since been sleeping. Cant wait till cover die's back but that aint going 2 be a few months again.?

So back in the box she went, she entered the next warren like a mad idiot. Quote Link to post

AirgunGuy 362 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 My younguns are great. They're running around like loonies when i let them out for a run and they're hilarious. They've bolted a couple of rabbits but mostly they just run through the warrens for amusement. My daughter got 2 Guinea Pigs at roughly the same time as i got the kits and she'd lost interest in them preferring to mess about the ferrets ;-) Quote Link to post

CWN-HELA 228 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 How old are everyone's kit? I think mine are about 7-8 months old. They have filled out well and a good size. Quote Link to post

And good for you daughter to be involved with the ferrets. Quote Link to post
STAFFY poacher 90 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 got 2, 5 month old hobs off city hunter on here...tried 1 with an older jill and bolted 4 from 2 setts, also got a 8 week old jill only time will tell Quote Link to post
George Kinloch 16 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 That's good then. I have two nearly 5 month old hobs so can't wait to get them both started as they are a really good shape and reckon they should be good little workers. All they do is wrestle each other all day so in a month or two will hopefully be able to put that energy into bolting rabbits. :smile: Quote Link to post

And good for you daughter to be involved with the ferrets. They're very well handled and don't bite at all which is great. Any time i put my fingers through the mesh on the cage the big fella runs over for a rub ha. Never ever thought for a minute that ferrets could be so tame. 2 of my dogs play with them, 1 of which is a young partially working Whippet. My 3rd dog (Weimaraner) gets caged when i'm letting them out as she'd just kill them in an instant. She clamps her jaws on everything and kills almost instantly. Tried getting a rabbit from her not so long ago and i couldn't prise her jaws open :-/ Quote Link to post
