Rake aboot 4,935 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hello Given that you are new to the sport, and have just stared keeping ferrets, can I advise you NOT to breed them bud. No need,and you have unproven ferrets that are not worth breeding yet. Take your time, get into it, then decide whethere to breed or not. I`ve been at this game for way over 20 yrs, and have only ever bred twice. 1 Quote Link to post

stinkers 102 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Have to agree with Rake Aboot and Stubby. And as for showing that your stinker knows what its doing....well ive never had a stinker that hasnt bolted a rabbit, there natural hunters when put down a sett with rabbits in there, they tend not to cuddle the bunnies for a bit of love :whistling: . Ive had stikers on and off for over 23yrs.......and ive never ever bred one, my choice yes but there are plenty of kits born each year from good hunting stock and from fellas that are very experienced in ferrets and breeding and from good working stock too, so no need for me to try and start another load off. My suggestion is if you dont want advice from people then dont ask for it.....then you wont be offended by the replies....welcome to THL. Quote Link to post

I think the word your actually looking to use is sensible!!!!! By your own admission youve just got the ferrets and you are new to keeping them and you need help in knowing what to do ....your words ......"Just got myself 2 ferret hobs and really want to get into ferreting ..But I need somebody who would be willing to take me out just once ortwice so I get the idea and get abit of experience before I go out alone" AND YOU THINK THATS OK TO START BREEDING FERRETS WHEN YOU AINT GOT A CLUE :wallbash: :wallbash: :rofl: :rofl: ..............So yeah i think people are right to bite ....stick to your snakes pal Quote Link to post
stu_young 3 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 you want a jill to breed to build up your stock a jill can have up to 16 kits you gonna keep them all? Quote Link to post
Rake aboot 4,935 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Calm doon folks I realise the ferret may work, but you have to keep at it to really find out if it`s worth breeding from. If you have 2 ferrets, you have enough to get going with, You do`nt need a lot of stock to keep you busy, just chill a bit and get started with what you have already got. Good luck bud, don`t get too down when folk jump on you, I can be the worst for that anyway,, it`s just that breeding for no real reason is a big no no here,, most of us have had to rescue unwanted ferrets before, and it boils our piss. 3 Quote Link to post
Jamie m 668 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 picture for you he is a good worker and i know the rabbit is half skinned but it was my first time trying it out and doing it myself as i normaly get my cuzen todo it Ok can see your keen : ) but as said mate why breed , there's a bit more to it than bolting A single rabbit that could of bolted by accident there could of been 5 10 15 rabbits in there . You need to see what's what on a proper day , I suggest you get a Jill kit this spring , have a full season at it next year see what's what see how you feel then , Quote Link to post

stubby 175 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 cheers and i can tell THL is a good forum it just has a couple of negative people that like to bite i hope you didnt take it the way stubby toke it i wont bother next time well neither will I then matey, I actually looked at this post, because I saw it mentioned maidstone in the title, having just bought 7 acres of woodland around those parts, I thought I may have been able to offer you ferreting permission, my reason of "biting" as you put it, is you seem to be just starting out, but dont want help/advice unless it fits in with this plan you have, rather than experience of loads on here you carry on the same as many other newbies on here do, 2 Quote Link to post
northern lad 2,292 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Fibbz......if I were you Iwould listen to the advice given,wind your neck in and maybe someone will help you out,ferreting permission is at a premium theres folk on here desperate for it.....so much so that a few jack it in due to no permission,without the attitude you could possibly have gained some you don't need to breed a litter as exciting as it seems to you,chill out and listen to what is being said Im sure at some point this summer someone off here will sort you out with a jill or two,possibly even gift them to you,give it the biggun....people wont help you Regards Dave Quote Link to post
