The History Of A Softy Ferret?

Gentle Giant...

Three months back i took a hob polecat of a good farmer i have known. It was handed to the farmer’s mother and so he took it on for her.

2 years back when he took it on it was just about the most veracious ferret you have ever come across but had been castrated. A really nasty bit of work. I give my mate a huge credit he calmed it and now it is the calmest ferret you will ever come across. Age is obviously 2 + but that’s all i know.

He just never got round to hunting it, i know he wanted too but being a farmer he just never had the time but spent 5 minutes a day handling it. It in his 2 years had only been fed dry food and the kids fed it a tiny bit of banana now and again, he loved it.

Here’s the thing, the boy will not touch any meat not even chicken breast. He would rather starve. My hunting kits would fight over a ruddy elephant...LOL. Any other ferret put in with him it tries to kill it. Me...It just snuggles up in my jacket or anyone’s

I just don’t do others ferrets but could not resist this one. I am getting soft in my old age...LOL

Does anyone have a Hob that must be housed on its own as it will literally tear any other ferret apart?

And....What’s your view on this softy ferret. How old? Where do you think it’s been before its two years has it hunted or just a pet?

I don’t really care too much but i need to know as it niggles me.

What do you think; i shall never know but views guys?
