MikeTheDog 153 Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 How about useing the same method that you use to stop your dog biting you? ....Buckets of water my arse...I'll say no more I would say dog's and ferret's are two slightly different animal's to train... .. Just imagine trying to boot or whack a ferret with a stick like you do a dog.. :whistle: ..the poor git would not last 2 min's.. . Millet I've never had a dog that bites so I've never had to boot or whack a dog!...Or for any other reason You didn't get the question did you Millet?...Nor did any other fecker ... OK let's put it like this!...Does your dog bite you?...No need to answer cos I would imagine it does NOT!!. Why?.....Because you socialised it, you gave it a good upbringing, you treated it right at all times didn't you!...Or do you have a bucket by your kennel! If people weaned their ferrets properly and socialised them there would not be a need for a f*****g bucket....By the way, you should never need to train your dog NOT to bite you! The point I'm trying to make is, there's too much bad stockmanship/animal husbandry these days. These forums are here to help those that aint got much knowledge 'bout ferrets etc Quote Link to post

Some of this may strike as basic husbandry, but people certainly need to be reminded Quote Link to post
Guest chilli Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 I had a jill she was fine handled every day like i do all me ferrets . She had a litter an for what ever reason went mad an would attack for no reason me the dogs any f****r , tried a few things only thing got her of was a bucket of water . She never lasted long after this , iam f****d if iam feeding a animal that attacks for no reason . An i tell you what there is to much of now aday people like you mike who think you no everything . You look down on people , think your the b all an end all of ferrets . Theres a old boy round the corner from me he is 72 been ferreting all his life still out 3 times a week at his age . He said to me about a bucket of water so shall i tell you what that makes him ...... f**k all it dont make him right it dont make him wrong its his way of doing stuff maybe its not the right way to some but it is to him . Sooner people on here relise theres more than one way to skin a cat a better place it will become . Quote Link to post
Guest jdg Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 No offence meant to anyone,...just can't see the need to dunk a ferret in water!...Guess I'm just lucky that mine are tame .. ive had some right nasty little twat's given to me in the past and ive been bitten a fair few time's.. .. the worst was a nasty little bitch that went mental on me for no reason it got me on the web bit of skin inbetween your finger and thumb and would it feck let go.. The only way i could get it of without ripping my skin was in water.. it let go instantly and was never given the chance to do it again.. :whistle: .. Millet chuck it to you're terrier see how it likes it Quote Link to post
MikeTheDog 153 Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 No Chilli I don't think I know everything and I certainly don't look down on anyone ..Still learning everyday and still look up to the old school If your ferret had a litter and then went mad maybe she was being protective towards her kits!..Or didn't you think of that!...Or did you mean she went mad after they had gone?......I know some women that got post natal depression ...fecking mad or what ..Chill out chillie you think everyone has it in for you Quote Link to post
Guest wickidweasel Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I had a jill mad as fook after she had a litter last year she was untouchable shes only just mellowed out this year i know how depressing having the shit ripped out of your hands everyday can get eventually it got to the point i had to wear gloves to handle her. My mrs had post natal depression put my head through windows was smashing glass ashtrays over my head ect ect anyway if i had a big bucket guess what i would have done Quote Link to post

MikeTheDog 153 Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 No problem Millet, I understood where you were coming from ...I had a biter once (over night) that a local keeper found on his estate, must have been ferel for some time ...Was the only time I've been bitten good and proper by a ferret, had a few quick nips and quick releases from startled ferrets but pleased to say never had a vicious ferret. Imo you must be confident, as I am with my ferrets, and safe to put your hand down a dark bury amongst ferrets and rabbits with out being bitten Ginge, there's no arguement on the subject, just people airing their views ...Oh and chilli throwing his toys about Quote Link to post
