Ferret Prices ££

[Sirius 1,391]

I haven't bought a ferret before or if I did it can't have been too pricey as I am pretty thrifty with my pennies and would remember it. I have always given away any excess kits.

 

How much is the going rate these days in your part of the world?

 

I am always happy to pay for good stock so don't get me wrong.

This year I ain't seen an ad under £10 on the trade sites and some have reached up to £40, for these 'micro' ferrets and i'll bet others will find much higher! Thankfully, there are still those who know the value of a good working home.

Yeah seems 10-15 quid is about right. I was a bit shocked but like I say I haven't bought any before.

I payed £15 for my first two, this year kits and got one yesterday for £5.. All Jill's ?

[samba 534]

never bought any usually gifted of mates or breed me own and surplus given away as long as they get a good home

[pie-eater 377]

£10 in my area. Reasonable considering the amount of food they get through when theyre kits not to mention the work involved in raising a litter.

I just been gifted a nice sandy hob from a litter of 9 the rest were also gifted, but I have seen two litters down this way for sale at 15 quid each...

Last year my two Jill's on there first litters 1 had 11 all lived 2 weeks later other Jill had 8 all lived the first lot was sold for £5 each but the second were very dark polecats bit like the eu they went for a tenner each and apart from 1 the other 7 were bought by lads who got the first lot , mind I must say and not bragging she was a proper grafter she stayed with the rabbits in the stop ends never not once kill down she even used to surface and look at me like to say hurry up and dig ye fuc## there's more , but sadly she was stolen along with her doughtier Tina a pure mean lean ferreting machine.if you took to long to dig she would drag the rabbits out the hold them till we got it off her, she was the size of a hob but so so so playful and friendly she would run at you clime up your leg n Back and sit on your shoulder

Neither have I, but would you buy one? And if so what would be reasonable to you?
