vanman1 411 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Ive never paid for a ferret in 30 years of being in the game, i try and help others and i would like to think they would return the favour if and when needed.I dont charge for kits when i breed but insist on good homes for them. Its difficult online until u meet people face to face a few times its hard to get a true picture,i find most people with simular intrests ie ferreting get on fine ,you get the odd wanker in all walks of life, i put it down to experience and f**k em off lifes to short imo. 1 Quote Link to post
The one 8,479 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Cant help you with the Eu hob the only one i know isnt a stud for some reason and after seeing some work im certainly no going to go out my way to breed them or assist anybody use them , but any other ferret matters up here i will try to help guys out . But have a think mate its maybe no just you its a gamble helping somebody whos to say they wont come back and take all your stuff ? theres a lot of ferret related thefts going on just now 1 Quote Link to post
ruggers13 268 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I'm new to ferreting and this site have already been given alot of advice and also a ferret so if and when i can help someone ill be there i don't know why people go taking peoples ferrets when they can just get one themselves even if they have to pay its only a tenner (not going to break your bank is it) the ones who don't want to start from scratch with a new ferret people just need to stop being dik heads Quote Link to post
GreyRake 108 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) I wouldn't of thought that many people would keep them so I cant imagine you would get many offers, no. Edited May 6, 2014 by GreyRake Quote Link to post

onthehunt 40 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Folk do use them, and rate them... my ferreting partner was gifted 2 last season off 2 well known members on here who both do a fair bit of graft... fact is I just don't get on with them, and whilst the ones he was gifted do graft, we do own ferrets that are better at job I rate my eu cross he's my best worker for sure. can't say he's a first cross but has a good amount of eu in him no killing down hole, no reticence to the job he was bred to do etc so it CAN work out with a hybrid Quote Link to post

If he don't kill he,s no good. . . that goes for all ferrets in my humble but correct opinion. be them hobs,jills,EUs ,micros or even just the simple plain old standard everyday ferrets. . . Killers they must be 1st and foremost. Quote Link to post
onthehunt 40 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 NO he bolts plain and simple. everytime. no kills Quote Link to post
Guest vin Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 NO he bolts plain and simple. everytime. no kills Don't get me wrong here please.. . but what happens when the bunny refuses to evacuate the warren ? If he bolts them everytime..how do you know he has'nt left multiple amounts of untouched bunnies below ground..? I have no time or place in my team for any ferret that leaves bunnies below ground. . . If thats what i wanted I would still be using Micros and little Jills. Quote Link to post
pie-eater 377 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Onthehunt are you certain he isn't killing and moving on fast? Seems odd for a ferret especialy a hob to never kill. 1 Quote Link to post
