Ferret Carrying Bags ?

[Longers7 720]

I was thinking along the same lines as you Kev, I got a hiking rucksack given to me yesterday, and thought about making a small ply box that fits into the bottom of it with a front opening door of some sort .

I actually care about my ferrets welfare so I use a box.

 

Never liked bags

Years ago that's all everybody used bank bags for the ferrets and never heard of any getting squashed lol boxes are good but can be a pain ferrets scrapping at them when your doing a burrows use them myself but do not see the harm in using bank bags or pillow cases

Well the next question is does anybody have one for sale ? or know where I can get one ? as I've tried a few of the big boys that have adverts in country mans weekly but know body has any

That's exactly what vin had made...

 

Like everyone else used money bags and pillow cases ,,for years,,never fell over and squashed one....

 

Here's a tip,,,mind I do this even when there going in the box,,,wake them up 10 mins befor you bag or box them,,,so they have gone toilet,,,

 

Rew off this site has a bucket that has lid,,,it's a big protein powder tub,,,bit like one of them 10 litre paint pots,,,,that fits in the bottom of his rucksack ,,,and cost feck all,,load of air holes bobs your uncle

What northenlite said. Pillow case tied about half way up with string,,,then in you pocket,,,,ferrets that travel like this regular soon learn to curl up and go to sleep

I would normally use a box and yes I care about my ferrets . I've owned and worked ferrets & lurchers for over 30+ years but times change and I need to use a bag on certain bits of land if you know what I mean

Wouldn't waste my money kev on one of the canvas ferreting bags mate a couple pillow cases with you incase it soils one you can change it or just turn it inside out

Plus the added bonus that they would warm your hands on a cold day.

I just remembered I have some furniture leather that I kept from an old three piece that we were throwing out if I can find someone to stitch it for me I might make a couple up. It will be something to do over the winter nights, put in some falconry eyelets as breathing holes and for the draw string at the top, and it should work out nice.
