Rookie Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hi all... Just a quick question really... Iv seen a few 'ferret boxes' used to transport a ferret from hutch to field... a fairly small box with a shoulder strap. What are these like to cary? I can imagine them to be very bulky and a chor to lug across a field? Are there any alternatives? Thanks, R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcowz Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I bought a double bow back box on someone on a popular online tat bazaar we all know and love and it is superb. Well made, easy to carry and most of all, keeps my workers safe and dry. They are not heavy and I hardly notice it, esp when lugging nets, spade and assorted tools with me. /Mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Master Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I got a bowbacked one from Simon Whitehead of the Pakefield ferrets for about £20 I think. Good box. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 This is my double box, it also doubles as a seat at lunchtime too. This one is a little heavy but cost me nothing except for the hasps, as it was an old first aid box. It keeps the ferrets cosy and safe while getting to where we are ferreting.

larson Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 i too bought 1 off Ebay made by the Ferret Box company. they are very well made but i think the ply is a little thick, making it on the heavy side. im going to copy there design and make my own out of thinner ply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traztaz Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 The bow back boxes look great!!For thoes of us that have 4wd and can drive close weight wont matter, just safty for the ferrets , however weight is a concideration for thoes on foot , and for thoes people I would implore you to please not use one of thoes ferret sack things, its sooooooooooooo easy to trip and land on / get excited and stamp on , etc etc, a really **** bit of kit!

buckfast d Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 When me and my very old mate (75) went ferreting he used a small barrel with the top cut of and a piece of ply with a door set in to replace it and as the harness he used an old seat belt. why he liked this was when he was walking if the box touched of his gun it done it no harm at all well this was his thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
