jigsaw 11,891 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 I always believe honesty is the best policy but in this case im not too sure,you could tell him the hob killed her when he was mating her and the ferrets your breeding have all their kits promised to friends,or you could just tell him hes not fit to be the keeper of such a fine species and show him the door.

jazz_11 5 Posted April 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 thanks guys.... would you reccomend giving her the jab... i may go with the hob killing her idea.. hmmmm Quote Link to post
redeye jedi 39 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 i think he needs to be told how to look after ferrets properly just incase you decide to give it back or he manages to get hold of another poor little stinker. Quote Link to post
Guest flapper Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 why breed from her if you already have 2 liiters on the way, surley you should be trying to build her up. i had a ferret off a young lad who couldnt look after it. i built her up on tripe her coat is healty and shes the best ferret ive had.That was last year, she s in young now Quote Link to post
howler 0 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 mate tell him you want her back and buy her off him Quote Link to post
The one 8,504 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Dont think you need a excuse to keep her do you ? Quote Link to post
ferretess 230 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 If she in poor state like you say why you breeding her ????? i also wouldn't be giving her back and tell him why,, By the sounds of it he wouldn't bother anyway ,,, Quote Link to post
para1 11 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I can not understand why you are thinking about breeding (if you think so much of it) If the ferret was mauled by a Patterdale it will probably have internal injuries.Give it time to recover and don't breed from it.

jazz_11 5 Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 the jills had the jab so everyone chill..... shes coming along nicely already looking better... Quote Link to post
ferreter.al 22 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 thats wat i hate about breeding ferrets,theres always some n*b head who woant look after them but how do you know that when they take them,the fetch good money where i live and if in my mind if people are willing to pay good money then theres a better chance they will look after it better,i will give some kits to my mates and people i know and sell the rest because if i offer them out for free then in my experiance theres always some pr*ck going to come and take one and not look after it + i get a bit of money towards food etc.i know some people done agree with selling kits for money but thats just me.atvb Quote Link to post
Kay 3,709 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Just get her to a vets for a jab & give her plenty of tlc, i wouldnt be handing her back over to him thats a fact Quote Link to post
Coneytrappr 30 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 "The hob killed her, sorry mate." Sounds good to me. If he only worked her once he obviously isn't interested in the game...it would be in her best interests for you to keep her. Quote Link to post
