Pulled Ferret Teeth

[Phil Lloyd 10,738]

I know all about such things...

 

However,..a few ferrets have damaged teeth from a variety of accidents,..they are not all the victims of crass stupidity, ...via village idiots and sundry dinilos,.. that have no experience of good quality,..working animals....

 

Clipping a ferret's teeth or using a muzzle ,..will NOT stop it killing a bottled up rabbit,...they just take longer about it

Ferrets still come into the rescue with teeth pulled or snipped off.

At the Blanchland show several years ago, a lad aged 20ish asked me where he could get the old brass muzzles to use on his ferrets to stop biting.

Ferrets used to have their lips sewn together to stop holding underground.

I've had bites off ferrets that came into the rescue, because they were frightened, and just not well handled, and in one case there was a trail of my blood down a garden path, as i carried a frightened jill to the car. Yet i have never thought that any bite from a ferret was as painful as you may expect. That particular ferret very quickly became tame with handling and trust. Its a ferret not a tiger. I'd much rather have a bite off a ferret than a rabbit.

Had a bite from a rabbit and it doesn't equal a ferret bite in pain and amount of blood

In the late 60's, my family kept and bred rabbits for eating, and a bite was not uncommon and very painful,- more than any ferret bite i've had.

Exactly I've been nailed God knows how many times in the past I actually find it quite funny that these little fuuckers have balls bigger than mine and are willing to have a go. Have to say though out of all the ferrets I've had over the years only one turned out to be an out and out biter but was an excellent worker so just retired the little tw@t and bred from her. All her kits have turned out brilliant so I just resigned to the fact I must of done something wrong with her. Pull her teeth??? fuuck that she'd of probably ripped the pliers from my hand and took a grip of my balls :laugh:

 

Stitching, muzzling, pulling teeth = morons without a clue who shouldn't be incharge of a bag of sweets nevermind a ferret.

yep, unfortunely still goes on by some ferreters, my grandad used to do it when he was a lad, but it was how it was done then and he was shown by his dad, he and his mates also used to coin them and muzzle and sometimes sticth the mouths closed. luckily most of the old ways are disapearing but theres still the odd few who still continue with these barbaric methods.
