Wow! Never knew they actually lived in the wild..thought it was something man made up.Lol.. we're I'm from folks keep them as pets and we're you guys are from they sound like a nuisance.you guys should be catching them and selling them to the states. I believe they sell for a decent buck..

Remember when i was a kid,yused to be loads about, streets and in the bush, people would take them off the street at night and put them in a box for the night and give them milk I think. I was coming from this lads house one evening who was the man when we first got into dogs, the was a park and then a valley below, my first big terrier had one in his mouth, and I got bothered by the fleas and spines and went to smack it out of the dogs mouth and me coat was covering my hand and when I slapped it i got a full hand touch on it because my coat rolled back, fkn hurt for ages

I dont know about wieght but they would be about the size of a bowling ball when curled up.

Yes, didn't realise it would be so sore and using me sleeve on my coat pulled over my hand would pull back. Dogs used to find them quite common, and be going at it not letting go. The were a pain like that

OMG!! CRAZY!

Had a lurcher bitch that took one thinking it was a squatter in her younger days ,

and once a dog switches on to them it's almost impossible to break.

Whenever I come across one local I take home to put in the veg patch and

introduce any young dogs to another NO species.

 

The fleas are a nightmare.

My old Lurcher bitch finds them everytime i walk a certain area.Nice to see them about instead of seeing them flat on the road.

They can if they bite them hard enough the little buggers.

Last year I had one come into the yard every couple of nights. About 1 in the morning the terriers would go nuts. Im sure it was suicidal. Used to get right up to one or the Kennels and then ball itself up. Just far enough away so the dogs couldn't get to it. Fecking thing I must have put it in the field at the end of the garden 4-5 times and the bloody thing kept coming back.

Havnt seen it this year.

Why do I open my mouth! The b*****d was back last night. Big bugger. Don't know if it's the same one. Lol.
