My ferrets

[Guest ilderfryd]

I thought I also need to introduce my ferrets.

 

This is Ferdinand. Sandy angora from 2004

He is from a farm in Norway.

A never biting ferret. Loves humans, but is not very friendly with other animals.

 

Thora of Nordic Ferrets, my beloved hybrid and shy girl. Love her to death.

She is born 2006 and shall have her first litter next year.

She used to be very friendly with other ferrets, but now with all her hormons there are only one ferret for her and it is Fleur, whom she is mothering.

 

Fleur, my gentle girl from 2005.

 

Aksel from 2004. My first hob. (the two first were jills)

A very very friendly ferret. Loves humans and animals and most of all his mate Julius. Eventhough neither of them is neutrat they love each other very much.

 

Julius from 2004. My v-hob. Won Keith Reddens jugde favorite for being the most stubborn ferret.

 

Elmo, my friendly silverhob from 2004. Neutrat.

 

Lille Fis, my deaf silver from 2004. Got him because he wasn´t doing very well and wouldn´t eat.

 

Ilderfryd´s Barky from 2006.

Not to happy with strangers, but a lovely girl anyway.

She will have her first litter next year.

 

Mandy´s Miss Wriggley. My price winning jill from Scotland. Born 2005

 

Rosa, my first ferret. Silver from 2003.

The most human loving ferret I have ever known.

 

Ambrosius Kræ, from 2006

The food loving ferret. Nearly choke in a piece of meat. He didn´t think he could eat it fast enough.

if you don't mind me asking how much to people pay for a ferret over there ?

as i have seen angora ferrets on the internet for quite a lot of money ! tell me to mind my own business if you like I'm just curious

[THE POACHER 13]

some nice ferrets but dont like the ones with long hair

[Guest ilderfryd]

Thank you.

 

The angoras cost about 150 pounds. I guess. Same does the shorthairs, but their is not many angoras in Denmark and not many who gets angora kids.

And of course you can ask.

 

I had discovered that UK people does not like angoras of some reason, but it is okay.

As long as you don´t call him yukki.

Some people did when a friend of mine shown his angora ferret at www.ferretsforum.co.uk/forum and I was in kind of shock.

 

Ambrosius have been kind of ehm.. big, but I think I have it under control now. He only weights 1600 gram now.

the reason angoras are disliked by peopleis because they were created through inbreeding, i personally dont see whypeople make such a big fuss when a majority of pedigree dogs are inbred to a degree which cause there inherited illnesses such as with labs and there hips.

personally i would love an angora ferret,but struggle tofind them in england.

[Guest ilderfryd]

How nice that you like angora ferrets.

 

I can write you if I ever should get one.

 

Yes to the inbreed, but that is so long ago. There have been breed so many angora ever since, so there will be hardly no inbreed in them anymore.

Feck all to do with the fact that there inbred, more to do with people turning ferrets into handbag accessorys

 

I think I will stick to standard ferrets that can work Got nothing against people keeping ferrets as pets, they make good pets, but why do people need hairy ferrets?

 

Theres no need but ponsy show folk seem to like fecking things up They cant just leave them as they should be, they seem to feck about changing what they look like so they meet there requirments. Bulldogs, Staffs, GSD's, more breeds than I care to say, hopefully ferrets wont go down the same path!

 

Added to the point that ferrets are common sufferers from heat, adding more fur to them is hardly going to benefit them, is it?

 

All the best,

have u ever worked a angora ferret, or seen one. if not then on that fact, how the hell can u make a statment like

'I think I will stick to standard ferrets that can work Got nothing against people keeping ferrets as pets, they make good pets, but why do people need hairy ferrets? '

and thats a very biased opinion towards the shooting community, your basically saying that dogs are working animals, and not pets. also are you against field trials as that is a form of showing?

 

cheers
