Hello everyone!

I have posted before but a while ago now, so a quick intro:

I used to hunt as a nipper, up to about 20yrs ago then I discovered girls, booze and other things.

Three yrs ago I aquired an allotment and discovered a pigeon problem so started shooting air rifle again :thumbs-up:

I then gained some permission on a local farmers land, but difficult to shoot as its used extensivly

by dog walkers etc. So to help the farmer out I thought I would take up ferreting again

Any hoo I've built a hutch;(can't upload pic as to big?)

and I wondered if any one could tell me the best treatment for the wood. Any advice gratfully recieved,

Dan.

Thanks it was all free.

To be honest I'm a carpenter by trade so a bit of a bus-mans holiday.( I've been a bus-man aswell (well conductor))

only need to felt the roof add some internal features for intrest and then I can source the residents.I thought I'd get them from mercia ferret welfare as it seems right to rehome unwanteds?

Good for you! Rehoming through rescue is a great idea... let us know how you get on with Mercia!

 

Dont forget a locator as a rescue might require you have one before rehoming to you!
