Ferret Master Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Hi, All jills. Nippy Peewit Named by the RSPCA Echo (the mole) Grace I didn't change the RSPCA names because the booklets with their name in and the micro chip had their names on.

Ferret Master Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Hi, All the RSPCA's ferrets are 'done' and microchipped as far as I know and are only £20. This is quite a good deal because the op to have them 'done' costs more than that. Nothing wrong with the name Pascal. Let her get 2 because 1 gets lonely on it's own and you can then have a new sport in Autumn and Winter with them bolting rabbits to your shotgun or to nets. Think on these things!

flash Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 i also got my ferrets from the RSPCA both of them were done and chipped for £20 ans were both young. we kept the RSPCA names for them both as it suited them two albino jills called Baileys and Brandy as both were rescued from a pub off a gypsy. flash rspca are good for ferrets and for the chipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackthorn Posted April 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 things have changed at the rspca, when we went there was no chipping , and one of the ferrets would have taken your arm of, they tried to get us to take that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackthorn Posted April 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 not at all the Jill nailed it, the Jill's i had if that rabbit did not move it didnt live for long one of the best ferrets i used was a big hob called butch, he was that big he had to drag rabbits out of the warren to deal with them, a total ball ache with the nets i think is dad was a lab :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
