wullieh 53 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Best worker I've ever seen was a polecat my mate got from a pet owner who had a big fat albino hob and a sandy jill, both had never even tasted rabbit but managed to produce a nice polecat jill and this jill left others standing just when you thought you had emptied a set by getting out 4 or 5 he would walk up and put his ferret down to produce another one or two.

pegstaff 9 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 it always seems that the albinos are the most steady. The polecat colloured ones always seem to be a little skittish at times. Have any of you found this i have personally found this to be true over the last 5 years. i have owned 4 polecats and none of them have been my cup of tea. had a two year old jill that was tame in the hutch at then onece down a hole would try and take your finger off. similar situation with the two kits i kept out of her. i have had 8 albinos over the past 5 years and 5 have made the grade. i personally now only work albinos, however i do believe their are bad ones and good ones in every breed Quote Link to post
fatlad 250 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 i work both albinos and polecat coloured ferrets now i find they both work aswell as each other ive always kept albinos but my mate got me a polecat hob off keeps a few years ago he,s now crossed into the albino bitches i had, i think its more important there from good working parents than anything to do with colour Quote Link to post
