I was out one time with full EU polcats never again first of all they were to big for me and I work hobs ferrets second think the c**ts were fuking about the holes took u all day to catch them theres a reason why we Bred from them and not to many people use them But all the best with it mate

You have to ask yourself what does a wild polecat bring to the table….. absolutely nothing,there out and out killers, ferrets have been domesticated for years for a reason, why anyone seriously into ferreting rabbits would even contemplate introducing wild stuff into there line is beyond me, but that’s just my opinion

I have just got a jill kit off well proven parents that I have seen work several times it is mad little barsteward you will need to handle as often as you can and they are fast workers

[gnipper 6,467]

Handle it as much as you can and get it as tame as a kitten  and then when you start working it and it's an unpredictable bitey skulking b*****d give it back to the lad who bred it

[The one 8,477]

Just get yourself a polecat call it a EU that seems to be what everybody else is doing 

[neil b 2,297]

Just as bad as angora, micros ect……. Useless!!!!!

this young hob ,i got here, is as mad as the day is long, handle it 3 times a day,alright once you get hold of it, buthas a fair old go at your hand and spits and barks when and you try to pick it up, very skulky and nippy,not like a nice easy going white ferret,these type are like the ones that abbot bros from norfolk used to breed in ferret courts years ago, still im going to perserve with it, can see their very lively and active never stays still, only when its fed achunk of rabbit.

So basically every trait you don’t want in a working ferret, il stick to my albinos,
