It has been hinted twice now on here that I am irresponsible! Sorry guys, but know the facts first before judging from on high! On the day the two ferrets were lost, a locator let us down, so using a locator still lost us a good ferret. I immediately ordered a replacement for this, { and this fact can be prooved on this thread if needed } Rarms, locators can be as unguaranteeable as a vets snips!. and I AINT irresponsible.

Tiercel, maybe not all, but it is a fact that a jills have a very short lifespan if not mated.

Vermin dropper, we usually keep about three ferrets which has always been adequate for our needs, thats after more than thirty years of ferreting. This winter we were unfortunate enough to lose two ferrets on the same day after killing then lying up.That was the reason for needing them in february, and nothing to do with not planning ahead. Let me add that a distance of around four hundred miles was covered driving a round trip of 36 miles daily to try to recover them, finally getting one back. We consider it a DUTY to do the utmost to retrieve a lost ferret, so would never wish to be even suspected of irresponsibility. Neutering a jill, yes, that can be a solution for some. Mating her with a castrated hob? tell me more.

An interesting point there about overbreeding, as a jill ferret will die if not mated. So what is the solution?. You cant give them away in the summer!. Tiercel and I briefly discussed this problem earlier in the year, when we both needed ferrets but had a problem acquiring them in february. Sounds like a no win situation all round, moreso for the ferrets. Are these ferrets availlable from the rescue society in the wintertime?.

DEFINITELY NOT GUILTY!!, If thats a Welshman they may as well close the bridge now, or get the net out.

Happy birthday T C, Not many reach your ripe old age!

This is the last survivor of five born this year at the place where I work. I will keep an eye on him to hopefully photograph his progress.
