Norrie Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 My new ferrets...about 3 months old, and a cracking wee pair of Jills...they are well natured, and dont mind being handled at all... I've not had ferrets for perhaps 15 years...and was thinking about getting back into working them...at one time I had almost 2 dozen of them, I originally started with a couple of pairs... all working on a rota system...but....folks and farmers used to give me "Feral" ferrets found all over the place..and I didnt have the heart to refuse them..LOL.....so, when a mate asked if I was interested in a pair...I had to say yes...:)They arrived last week, and are now fully settled in. Hopefully another wee weapon in my arsenal.. and along with the .410, I'm hoping to have some great days out later in the year..... I'm in the process of building a carry box and an outside run for them, thank god I drive for a sawmill... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polester Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Thats the thing with keeping ferrets once people know you have them the collection grows with rescued ones. Have had 2 found on building sites 1 soft as and one that saw fingers as food and had to turn down loads more as not got the room to keep them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT, on another note, had a delivery to a farm in the Borders early this morning, driving up the track to it, it's overrun with Rabbits, holes everywhere...had a chat, and it looks like i'll be able to Ferret there once or twice a month...thus...enabling me to stock up on Ferret food...

Frenchieboy Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Your ferrets are looking good mate, they should provide you with plenty of sport and a well stocked freezer, care for them well and they will provide for you well! A couple of good ferrets are the best asset that a rabbit controller can have. There's no better "sport" than shooting over a couple of ferrets in my opinion. I used to keep and work about a dozen (On a rota system) many years ago and if I had a garden and a shed I would not hesitate in having a few again!
