Rytex10 0 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 just wondering if any of you ferreters have got any ferrets from James Bradley of landmark pest control (coney catcher lines). If you have how are you getting on with them and are you happy with them, i myself have two jills and a hob and i am realy pleased with them many thanks Quote Link to post
Malt 379 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Never heard of him mate, or a named line of ferrets either come to think of it. Sounds like a money making scheme to me. Quote Link to post

Rytex10 0 Posted April 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 James Bradley is the chap that does the Rabbiting dvds such as `A fistfull of ferrets etc` he often advertises his ferrets in the countrymans weekly and advertisers them as coney catcher lines which he carried on from Phil Lloyd i was told. many thanks Quote Link to post
Malt 379 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Phil Lloyd is on here. Not knocking your ferrets mate, but how much does he sell them for? Quote Link to post
Rytex10 0 Posted April 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Yeah i thought he would of been on here, i think i payed around a tenner for each which you might think is a bit much but i think it was reasonably, they have turned out to be some of the best ferrets i have ever owned just wanted to know if any body else had some and if they were as happy with theres as i am with mine thanks Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 a tenner is a fair price, had expected more, if they clear the warrens of rabbits , they sound like they doing the job, same as most ferrets here really Quote Link to post
Malt 379 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Nah, a tenners not a bad price mate, was expecting you to say something like £30! Most ferrets work in pretty much the same way, I believe that 90% of ferrets will do the same job if they're shown enough rabbit holes. Quote Link to post
The one 8,473 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 The warrener punts his through the countrymans weekly £15 each dont think there better than anybody else's just undeclared pocket money Quote Link to post
erik 71 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 how mush is a tanner ..? Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 how mush is a tanner ..? how much is a tenner £10 ten pounds sterling Quote Link to post
J Darcy 5,871 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 The way i look at it is.... Theres only two kinds of ferrets....Good ones and bad ones..... Quote Link to post
rabbit tourmentor 29 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 in my mind unless the line of ferrets are smaller then theres nothing differnt in working abillitie by the way james bradley is on here as blinddate tryed to by some ferrets of him but he never answered his phone Quote Link to post
blinddate 43 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) in my mind unless the line of ferrets are smaller then theres nothing differnt in working abillitie by the way james bradley is on here as blinddate tryed to by some ferrets of him but he never answered his phone Hi Rabbit Tourmentor sorry i missed your call but was moving house......just try again but currnetly working 7 days a week.....why because this is the time of year we get the most calls for rabbiting....and also been finishing off latest DVD (all done now thank god except for the cover)....pm me your number and I will call you back soon. Anyway back to the original post, yes Frank and Jimmy breed a few litters each year, (sadly Jimmy is getting on and has not been well....I don't think he will ever be ferreting again and we did not think he would se the winter out.....so no more ferrets from him I suspect) and I have a few....we often get calls from enthusiasts who have seen the dvds etc or who want unrelated new stock....often end up "giving them away" espiecally to lads who travel far....bit of a piss take to rip them off if they have spent a pile of cash on desiel!! interestingly nearly everyone only wants black eyed bitches and alot of the lads and lasses come back every few years....which is good and i have made some good contacts this way....one or two now come rabbiting with me!! Profit wise does anyone make money out of ferrets....i doubt it, the price of the ads/ time spent soon adds up.... just good to find some good homes for the kits and help a few lads out....and jimmy normally re invests his few dollars in bootlegged rolling tobacco whist frank is on the phone to bridport nets for more twine LOL!! Not all ferrets work well but i have always beleived best to breed from your best workers and this can only increase your chances of good kits.....but as we all know that does not always work out!!! Speak soon RT All the best James Edited April 28, 2009 by blinddate Quote Link to post
