Our first litter has been a pure joy to raise, but sadly it is getting to the time when we must think about letting them go.
At the moment they are coming up 7 weeks old, eating soaked ferret food and mince and drinking well on their own. Mum had to be taken away four days back as she had had enough of being a mother and was in no mood for babies anymore - but they have not looked back since with three meals a day they are all well fed and growing like little weeds.
This as said has been our first litter and we do not plan on ever having another... too much hard work lol But all the babies are very well handled to the point I would keep them all if the other half would let me.
Both mum and dad have worked and proved their weight in gold in the field with bagged bunnies, no lay ups or sulking (tempting fait for next season now, arn't I lol)
We have silver & poly boys and one poly girl (sorry, two silver girls are staying here lol) and are super little ferrets. A working ferret is a happy ferret and would like them to go to working homes really, but active pet home will be good too.
We are looking for £15.00 each. Pick up from home only (Nr Boston, Lincs LN4). I will hold if £5.00 deposit is sent. Ready to go 5th July
Mum is poly - Dad is Silver
Thanks for reading.

After loosing Possums litter and our first ever litter of ferrets we decided that we would keep Moss's babies a guarded secret until we were pretty sure things would be okay.
Moss's litter is now 3 weeks old and I have never seen any thing so cute as a baby ferret. She did have 11 in the litter but the three smallest babies died over the first week leaving 8 big strong healthy kits.
Mum is a poly and dad is a stunning silver and I think we have a wonderful mixture of albino, poly and silvers in there. We have three girls (staying with us) and 4 strapping boys (1-2 staying with us) and I love them all to bits.
Here are some pictures of them as Moss is happy with me handling them now... as long as she gets her mince and meatballs lol
This little one has half of his tail missing, bless
Sorry about picture quality, my computer is due an over haul soon!!!

Sadly there is always going to be nut cases like this to drag decent law abiding gun users down.
Yes, as with other's I feel for the policemans family, but as the old saying goes, you should never tar people with the same brush
-
I always cut the front and back legs off at their uppermost joints, cut the tail end off and bin it then cut the back in half just under the ribs and leave it at that

Had to have a look at this thread as when we showed our rabbits their was a rather ugly rabbit called the Lionhead that all us none-liker called Fuglies... I have to say that this fuglie is a hell of a lot cuter
My other half would be soooo enviouse over this little guy
Look at the size of those feet!!!!!!

My ferrets love to go for walks, the river bank and local park there fav
They have lovely coloured harnesses and elastic leads for the occasion too which the other half .... loves We even took our ferrets to the local agri show a year or so ago, not entering them into any thing, just so they could get out and have a little fun their selfs. They are fantastic animals to have loads of fun with!!
-
All our ferrets have hammock that I made myself for half the price of buying in, thankfully my time was not wasted as they all love them

Great looking pup... though I'm going with the daughter...Toddles would have been a great name for you to shout down the line

Wow, they looked like they were having so much fun... all the things I used to love as a kid, mum hated it and often dreamed of me wearing pretty dresses instead of coming home with ripped jeans and mud on my face
But being a mum now, of course I disagree with it all... more so the dirty clothes lol
No, honestly, good on you for showing them the countryside and a dam good time

Thank you for all your advice, I took him back to the vets again today, his armpits are healing great, I couldn't be more please. But asked her the same question as I have you, as said, I was worried about his teeth and gums just feeding on soft food... simple answer which is so simple I felt like a fool asking in the first place... Raw tripe as he was brought up on and good thick raw cow bones, which he has had from time to time from being a puppy any way
SimpleBut, again, thanks for the advice on the other feeds as raw tripe can get a bit smelly come the hight of summer
Hence why we had changed him to the dry food in the first place -
Thanks, thats good to know.

Recently my Springer has come out in sores in his arm pits, after taking him to the vets and having him treated, we found out that the sores are the likely case of a wheat gluten allergy.
When I got back home I looked at his treats, all have wheat in them, I looked at his food, more wheat!
He was raised on raw tripe and we have put him back on to this, which is no hardship but I am worried about his teeth just feeding on soft foods. Can any body suggest a wheat gluten free mixer food that doesn't cost the earth please?

after 10 beers who cares....just as well I pass out after 6......
lmao
Matt just did the test... 11 out of 16

This is really interesting, we have silver birch all over the place here. Has any body tried this before? I guess I must have missed Ray Mears when he was explaining this.
Would be interested in your results and what you did with the sap.
-
Thank you for the eye opener
as said, I would not have thought it.Is there any vaccination's that we should be thinking for our ferret with working around rats?... would you vaccinate any way with us working them in the first place?
-
The rats had been living in the potato dump and when they took it away, they moved in to the warren next door.
Rabbits never went back to that warren.
I'm hopeing thats not the case with the hedgerows that we've been working on, but saying that there was no fresh scrapes or droppings in the last burrys we looked at... just rat droppings so we moved away from them.
Both me and Matt said at the very start after reading some of the horror stories in the Countrymans Weekly that we would not work a warren with rats.
But we were bound to come across them sooner or later though as there is holding pens for game bird just across the field, so no real shock, and a couple of weeks ago we sent one of the Jills down and it looked like she was in a stop or on a nest as she had not moved in a little while, so we dug her out and found ear after ear of corn down the hole. I did think it was odd that rabbits would do that, but now thinking it was the rats maybe that had stored the corn??? But would not have thought that rat and rabbit would live in the same warren surely, but have seen both coming out from the warren??
