blackthorn Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 FM how old were they when you got old of them, and any bad habbits as in biteing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferretboy111 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 The common practice within the rescue societies is that they never rehome a ferret that is aggressive, or if they do they certainly tell you it is before giving it to you. I have had 5 rescue ferrets, from kits to adults and they all work well. Will certainly cut out the work of breeding, or taking them out of season.

Cranfield Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 You mention that you are "getting back into ferreting", which means you know how to handle them. If they handle well when you first meet them, you should be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Master Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 FM how old were they when you got old of them, and any bad habbits as in biteing They reckoned they were both 3 but had no way of knowing. Echo was found dumped in a box and Grace eating from a plate in a pub beer garden. I think Grace was younger and Echo older. I got them 3 years ago now and they are both still going strong.
