WARNING!

[Brimmer 220]

Just a warning, don't leave them alone too long! You know they can make mischeif out of nothing!

 

Whilst making a new carrying box, I let two of this years young uns out in the backyard like most nights.

 

Heard a splosh and splashing sound, turned around to find my biggest albino hob had lifted the grid on the drain, and ended up face first down it unable to back up or turn around!

 

Pulled him out by his tail no worse for wear, but a little damp!

 

If it's not climbing the mesh, on top of the cages, then drop off the wall, into the back street, it's great escape style through the drains and out!

 

never ever relax around the critters!

mine did the same the other day my two hobs got out and one was in the recycling bin with bottles and tins and the other was saying hello to my two jills.

and another one the day before my ferrets got out my gramps did aswell and his albino hob was in the garage and he could not find his polecat hob so he went around the streets looking for it and a bloke come up to him and asked if he was looking for his ferret and he said yes and it turned out that it got into his rabbit run and killed his pet rabbit, my gramp offered to pay for another one but he said dont worry thats what ferrets do, lucky he was so understanding.

One of my hobs got out once and was up a neighbours overflow pipe on his garden pond. He tried to tempt it out with a sausage but it just snatched the sausage and went back up. Came out when he'd finished the sausage though.

A really old poley I inherited from a guy, God love it, it slept all the time, it was ancient. I put it in the shed while It's hutch dried out. Somehow it got onto the top shelf and into some creosote, it was covered, hissin and spittin. I managed to get it "unbitten" into the kitchen sink, and got a handful of Swarfega onto it. That was when the fun started as it was as slippery as an eel. Somehow we both survived and we were better friends afterwards, it sort of bonded us together. As an added bonus, though I changed his bedding every couple of days for a while, for weeks, he smelled of creosote. He died in his sleep about a year later, in some hard weather, he rarely came out, but when he stopped eating, I looked in.
