I've never liked the idea of hutches mine have always been in converted sheds or chicken coops hate working at people's houses and seeing rabbits stuck in hutches that usualy never come out of it 2 Quote Link to post
OldPhil 5,656 Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) I must confess, I like the smell of ferrets, especially on clean sawdust, and laying comfortably, in their soft straw bedding... When I was in Secondary School, I always handled my ferrets before setting off for the day,...and once in class,.. I noticed that very few pals wanted to sit next to me. Several pupils would moan and complain to the Teacher, "He stinks Sir".... I couldn't understand their problem Oh yes,...I like the smell of ferrets....

My mate had a jill he used to let out every afternoon and it would walk the 1acre boundary fence then get back in it's cage. I don't think I'd be that lucky. I did have an old hob that would do a warren, or blackberry patch thoroughly and get back in his carry box, I had to put him down at 9 due to cancer, I miss "Grim".

James broom 1994 15 Posted April 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 I'm very lucky I'm a nightmare for not shutting them properly when I've been down and it's quite rural where I live behind the house is a dyke and acres of fields they even got in with my chickens before but didn't kill any some highly trained ferrets 1 Quote Link to post
