AtheneNocturna 4 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Hey all, I'm a ferret breeder from Finland and I'm looking for some new blood. It is bit tricky thou because I'm looking for standard line, good temper, not at all or as little as possible polecat and a short pedigree (name, colour and birthday) of parents and grandparents. We are desperate for good new hobs in here, so I would really appreciate help! I'm planning on coming to UK later this year so the kitts doesn't even need to be born yet! If you know any good breeders or are in fact yourself one please give me a message. Also I would love on the same trip to come and learn hunting with ferrets. In short: - standard line - good temper - very little or not at all polecat - short pedigree - sable, black, albino, sandy, chocolate - no dew, panda or badger parents or grandparents I may sound picky, I know, but the breeding regulations for the official breeders are really ridiculously strict.

AtheneNocturna 4 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 This is a hunting forum AthenaNocturna you will \be lucky to find show ferrets here. What does ferret pedigree mean anyway? In my case pedigree is just the names, colours and birthdates for parents and grandparents. In Finland there is only show ferrets and I am the first to breed even remotely hunting type ferrets. Finnish ferrets are all Russian and East-Europe lines so the hobs are HUGE. Normal hob around here is around 2,5 kg to 3,5 kg (5,5 lbs to 7,7 lbs). Try fitting that into a rabbit hole.. Thank you all for the tips, I'll definitely will give Rakeabout a call! 2 Quote Link to post

TOMO 26,073 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Are there any wild rabbits in Finland,,,, and if there is,, are you aloud to hunt them? Quote Link to post
AtheneNocturna 4 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Just in the capitol area in Helsinki there is estimated 14 000 "city rabbits" that cost the city est. 500 000 € worth in damages/ year. You can't use poison or guns in the heavily populated areas like parks, so ferrets are the perfect solution! There is only hand full of people who know how to hunt with ferrets and get a nice salary from the city. Edited February 22, 2015 by AtheneNocturna Quote Link to post

Guest vin Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Well best thing to do would be for you to sort out a weeks ferreting with all expenses paid for anyone willing to deliver you a couple of decent ferrets.. Pay the flights and Exs and a decent hotel and I would be up for it...I'm sure plenty would. Quote Link to post

Jamie m 668 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Might be better long netting and flushing them in ???? Quote Link to post
