Madcowz Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Ok, after months and months of getting their Court ready, laying concrete, new roof, walls doors etc etc and getting more and more excited as each day went past... one of my new ferts has arrived. Drove up the M25 with my daughter after work, just missing the huge accident and miles and miles of tailback on the A13 and collected our fert from Stubby (top bloke, was good to meet you ) The polecat is mine, we are calling her Ophelia (going for a Shakespeare theme for the trio. The hob when he arrives will be called Cornelius and yet to decide on the other jill), the silver is for someone else. She is staying with us until Friday when my other two arrive from the other litter, at this point the other owner will collect her one (that is if we haven't fallen in love with her by then, oops too late). This saves her from having to travel all the way to Dartford to collect, and gives Ophelia company before her new friends arrive. Here they are tucking into freshly shot rabbit. They literally flew out of their hammock when I waved this in front of them. Thought they had grown wings! And yes, that is dried food in the bowl. Temporary measure while I restocked my freezer. /Mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 You're lucky fellows, Mrs P. wont let me have a pair I need some redeeming features to try and persuade her that they'll be an asset, any ideas? P. Let her see a couple of kits playing around, that gets them every time. If you have any Country Fairs near you, take her along, they often have a large ferret display area. Madcowz, you should have named the jill "Princess", as she lives in a Palace. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
