The cost of a ferret

[RaiderBoy 19]

i had my ferret from an rspca shelter in newport and when i was there, there was about 30 ferrets looking for homes.they had all been dumped or abandoned do you think people should charge more than £30 for ferret ? because they are seen as expendable by some people and are just left in buries when they dont come out for an hour

I dont think you can put a price on a ferrets head , you either look after them & value them or you dont , i think with most small animals there fairly easy to dispose of when the noveltys worn off

I don't think it would matter. Some people spend a lot more money on dogs and then get rid of them/mistreat them.

[RaiderBoy 19]

it would matter a little bit because if some people around my area paid £30 for a ferret they would treat it royalty

[ferretmaniac 5]

well i paid a fiver each for mine sooo its pretty cheap but i still treat mine with respect.....hopefully it gets returned lol rolleyes:

if its from the rspca its probably been neutered and microchipped so most rescues/rspca

ask for a donation to cover the cost

Well my last two have came to me free one from a neighbor and one from a lad on this site two little belters don't think it matters how much they cost you either look after them or you dont.

3 out of 4 of mine have come from the local ferret rescue place. My oldest at 4 is a brilliant rabbiter and shows at every hole till the bury is cleared. The other two are last years and have done really well this season for tyros. All 3 are castrated/neutered and the ferret rescue wants a £10 minimum donation.

Less than the price of a Jill jab for one year. All ferrets will work given the right circumstances.

I paid a £5 for some of mine but what price do you put on a good working ferret? ,but i would like to see them worth more it might keep the idiots and arseholes out our sport

If ferrets were more expencive they would attract more scumbags to rob your cages every night, and when they have had their fun they would still dump them on some warren somewer, its not the price of ferrets that are the problem, its some of the w***ers that own them.

No I don't think so, the person I got my ferret from breeds them and on'y charges £10 for them but the ferrets he can't get rid of he drops the price to £5

Had a number of people come up to us at the West Country Show today asking how much we wanted for our ferrets...

 

You dont have enough money in your wallet buddy was the answer lol..

 

good working ferrets are priceless... and i certainly wouldn't hand them over to a stranger at a country show!!
