ferrets..

<< < (6/6)

diggerdog36:
Ive had Ferrets all my life, im a Gamekeeper now and know that Jills die if they dont mate, it happened to me for years until I was told the story, they had bricks in their hutch too, it didnt make a difference.

As for the biting, mine were working Ferrets so they were vicious, but they did their job really well, my friend has some Ferrets and they are useless with rabbits and scared of rats, because his daughter treats them like pets and handles them every day!

i have  had and bred ferrets for over 20 years , never had one die cos of lack of mating  (cleanliness is parramount tho) as for pets not hunting  my 2 jills were pets for 2 years till i rescued them from being thrown out , within a month of having them they had both bolted loads of rabbits , i continue to handle them every day  with no adverse effects .

richo:
Does the half brick need to be placed in a certain way or be of a certain texture or type of clay.


i had mine for 5 to 6 years and i only put the brick in when the time was right and it worked for my jill.Mine was kept on her own so maybe thats why she used it.
I would love to have more ferrets but don't have much time because of work ,they really are very funny to watch.
I also had a hob but got rid because he was a little sod for biting.He was good at getting other peoples jills out of warrens when ferreting as he was a bully and would fight anything
I called my jill olop which is polo spelt backwards ,can't remember why i called her that though.
