Paul in North Lincs. Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Yes...... I have seen quite a few folk walking ferrets on leads over the years. They can make very loving pets. I work my ferrerts but have one Hob that I have kept as a pet for my young lad. When it sees him in the morning, it grunts and squeaks at him and goes banannas in its cage. Once my lad gets him out it will run across his shoulders a few times, then position himself in the crook of his arm on is back awaiting a fuss, to which audibly shows his appreciation!!!!

Ferret Master Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Hi, I walk my 3 jills! I walk mine on lead and harness and they trot along fine racing each other. I walk them on the pavement and on some set aside land by the local stream. Although mine are currently pets that live in a cub in the garden and come in the house for half an hour every day I do want to work them in the winter. So far there only ferreting experience is playing in a single deep rabbit hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushy lad Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 My Grandad once owned a Ferret that used to find its way home! If it killed below ground and was "laid-up" he would leave it and it would always turn up. Hard to belive I know but I for one fully believed him. The country folk of yesteryear were brought up with nature and animals and were superb at rearing and training working animals. They spent so long with them in the field.
