Guest tewkesferreter Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 been hearing a bit about these lately,are they just small ferrets or have they been bred differently? does anybody work these,if so how do they fare to a standard ferret. the gills i work are fairly small compared to some that ive seen,but i wouldnt really want to go any smaller as theyve been coming up after being down for a while with fur under there claws but no blood on there faces,so im pressuming there coming up against rabbits that are reluctant to bolt,your thoughts please.

JordKil 0 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 If you're not shifting them with the jills try a hob thats what I do. Let the jills get them moving and the hobs to shift the stubborn bunnies. I thought greyhound ferts were the racing bred ones that are quite wee but real quick. Atb Jordan Quote Link to post

Guest tewkesferreter Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 ive never got on with the hobs,they seem to take longer to mature than the gills workingwise. i got a big gill from a rescue a couple of weeks back that i think could do the job of a hob,just gotta get her handled though as whoever had her before didnt bother and shes hard work to say the least.

Guest ferret feller Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 i use my jills too push em out.. if they stay down for a bit they either have killed the rabbit or cant budge the f****r.... then i put the hob in.... rabbits move like shit off a shoval... Quote Link to post
Guest tewkesferreter Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 do you think the sex of the ferret makes the difference or the size. Quote Link to post
Guest ferret feller Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 hobs are gamer then jills imo... Quote Link to post
ferret boy charlie 0 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) hobs are gamer then jills imo... i would say that hobs are more determined to get the job done but jills are more fiery Edited February 6, 2009 by ferret boy charlie Quote Link to post
