Fireworks

[deanflute 550]

I have been approched by the landlord of the pub across the road from as he wants to do a firework show from my front garden as he cant get a licence to do it from the pub grounds, all i want to know is what are ferrets generally like with fireworks? does it bother them or will they just think nothing of it? he says it will only be a 15 minute show. The ferrets are round the back of the house, obviously it wont be till november 5th but he needs time to organise it

cheers Dean

thats what i'l feel like mate, he's giving me 100 pints for doing it!!

[stubby 175]

You could alway's put them in a carrybox and keep them inside your house untill after the display if you not got too many, my Ferret's never seem to be bothered about loud bang's. Or give your Ferret's a couple of them free pint's before hand and they will sleep through owt then

I have never had a problem in the past with the ferrets when fireworks have been going off, the dogs were a different matter though

Mine are very wary of loud noises, bolting for cover. I have a guy two doors down who makes wrought iron gates "for a hobby", he's known locally as Robert the b4stard, his wife is called Capes after Geoff Capes the big guy with the beard , yep you get the picture. Anyway RTB often gets loads of metal delivered and my ferrets hate it.

The earlier suggestion of keeping them in the house might be a good idea, as just 'cause you don't see them, doesn't mean they're not terrified. It probably depends on the strain you have. Previous ferrets I've had were pussycats, very calm and generally soft. These two albino hobs came from a gamekeeper, and they're flighty souls. Love a bit of rough and tumble, "very rough" during which they will bite me to the nearly too hard stage, yeouch. They however are quite nervous. Their strong point is rabbiting, boy do they love chasing bunnies. Once the collar is on, they change into focussed rabbiters.

EE I can waffle, as I say mine wouldn't like it, but for 100 pints, I'd take them into the house.

Forgot to ask, Do you have to drink the 100 pints in one go, just 'cause if you need a hand like, well I wouldn't see you stuck mate, pal, chum. Just purely as a favour like to help out a mate.

Why cant he get a licence?? What type of fireworks does he want to use corner shop brought or heavy duty professional ones?

Fed them them drop a cover over the front of your hutch , with most fireworks wanting a safety margin of 25 metres plus we let ours off at the top of the garden and never have had a problem

[sue 1]

fireworks dont bother mine ,to be honest they dont care about any loud noises or bangs ,only you can tell by knowing your ferrets how well they will take it .

 

 

p.s if you need a hand getting through those pints im free lol

[The one 8,511]

They maybe think on it as shooting over a burrow with a twelve bore

what are ferrets generally like with fireworks?

 

You should get a ferret airborne with five or six rockets ....Seriousley, mine aren't bothered, if it makes you happy stick them indoors for the duration. Mines a pint!
