j4wgs 0 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) Hi, Was wondering if there is anyone in the Aberdeen/Aberdeenshire area of Scotland that is selling or will be selling black hob kits? I know they are very rare but I would like to get something as dark as possible, with very few light patches, i.e. maybe a light coloured mask but that's about all. Leave a post on here if you have any info and i'll get in contact. Cheers, J4WGS Edited March 2, 2009 by j4wgs Quote Link to post

Had a look on your website and that EU poley is a nice looking ferret. I am just looking for something a bit differnt! I would take a nice silver if thats all i could get but i fancy a really dark hob aswell. Quote Link to post

Eu polecat hobs are massive and certainly more timid than normal ferrets even after you tame them! Quote Link to post
moosedog 2 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 if my memory serves me right there is a guy somewhere( i think he writes for the countrymans weekly ) offerd £250 for the first person to breed a all black ferret, im not into ferrets but im sure i read it in the countrymans weekly Quote Link to post
JordKil 0 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Mate Im in Aberdeen/shire and Iv got a litter of kits at the moment. None are dark but Iv got a few that'll make silver. Pm if interested. Cheers Jordan Quote Link to post

You are thinking uk wild polecats, they are generally very big and unhandleable, We have an eu poley hob for the 2 jills, they have all got good natures and are proven parents. There should also be some silver half angoras thrown they are no different the normal ferret, and will work just as well. Edited March 3, 2009 by angoraferret Quote Link to post
stoaty1 35 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 There should also be some silver half angoras thrown they are no different the normal ferret, and will work just as well. They will be tame and not hand shy but no different to normal ferrets - I have to disagree. Sorry. They will be far more alert and alot faster. I also find that even the half cross's take a bit more handling to bring them to the same level of tameness. They are great animals though and in no way am I putting them down. regards ian Quote Link to post

By my reckoning it would mean a 10 hour round trip for him to get your ferrets mate can i come for a hurl if he wants one ??? Quote Link to post
