sue 1 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 you seem to be a little obsessed with how much ferrets can be sold at with all your topics posted Quote Link to post
Simoman 110 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 What sort of prices do ferrets make at market. my local auctioneer offered to sell mine at the poultry market Ferrets often go for a little as 50p, I would never sell mine at market. I'd prefer to give them away to good homes. Quote Link to post

Guest jojoamojo Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 how many have you bred? i dont think they need be sold at a market, how would you know who they were going to? if they sell for 50p its a good live treat for snakes Quote Link to post
Guest bigredbusa Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 how old are they ? to old to cull? Quote Link to post

Ricky-N.p.p 0 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 they were selling for as much as 30 quid at lanark market last year Quote Link to post
Simoman 110 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 they were selling for as much as 30 quid at lanark market last year Crikey, they were going for 50p a kit at Melton market. At least if someone paid £30 I'd feel they really wanted the ferret and would more than likely look after it. Quote Link to post

Simoman 110 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 see ye at melton rubbing hands and seeing ££££ signs lol Trouble is although your having a laugh...I think Far too many people see any animal as a disposable tool and treat it as a commodity rather than an member of the team.

You would have to put a pretty high reserve on them I suppose Quote Link to post

paddy.t 5 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 seems harsh but if you have no room then cull them, if ya don't have the heart give them to a young kid starting out or a freind starting out, personally i would choose option 2 but if there was no option but to cull then i would Quote Link to post
