Lovely looking guy you've got there.

Why on earth were the previous owners going to kill him?

 

[Niels]

I don't have one but just out of interest, do you walk a ferret like one would a dog? He looks cute btw

 

[andyc54]

he had a good few and did nt work them all so he was giving them away or they were getting shot,im a right softy so took him in

yeah i think you can he seems to follow me most of the time unless some where needs exploring indepth i dont think he would walk far but the lead and harness does nt bother him its more for when we going camping he can come with us in a dog crate

 

[andyc54]

yeah he is a good looking fella, very cute

You walk them...Well, your average ferret is incapable of walking in a straight line for more than three inches...with a lot of patience.

he does an ok job like i say just if something takes his interest and hes not very quick at walking dont think i'll be hiking miles with him unless hes carried

 

[nuggets]

its cruel to keep a single ferret alone -they need a companion to keep them company ( on walks and such )


will let you have a nice jill for ya hob to play with andy see ya at brockers

Me and Ferret's don't get on, well ok me and one ferret dont get on, there was one when I was in collage called norm he was insane even for a ferret that hated me with a passion. I wasn't paying attention one day and he got out of his box and ran up my trouser leg, So commence with the scootching while I tell you all of the Saga of Chris VS Norm.

Picture if you will, a 6ft 5in tall scouser running across a field outside Preston attempting to pull my trousers off screaming "ARGH! ARGH!!!!" while in full view of a beer garden full of fellow students and the general public pulling a ferret out of my trousers, on finally getting off my trousers off and capturing the north bound ferret realising where I am I waddled off with my trousers round my ankles in a attempt to maintain what was left of my dignity and to find a first aid kit.

 

[andyc54]

haha nice try nuggets i know they should be kept in pairs but hes lived on his own for 3 years before i got him and i really dont want kits lol

yeah looking forward to brockers are you still bringing the jill for a try at ferreting ?

smart looking chappie, Andy. I love ferrets ... my cats don't !!!

 

[Red Fox]

Nice looking polecat Andy. A good book for you to look at is a book called ferrets and fereting it covers all of the joys of fereting from food to making a carry box, how to work them and so on.Some people feed ferets bread and millk on a regular basis because its easy and cheap but this will make them go blind and is not good for them. Some peoplel feed them feret complete a dry food but i have not liked it, my ferrits did not do well on it so i stopped giving it to them. Me and other people i know fed ferrets on cat food which kept them healthy and full of themselfs. Shooting pigions and such gave them a treat and after a day of chashing rabbits the heart liver and kidneys were the ferets treat.Theres a little sack on the rabbits liver, be sure to remove it as it contines toxins. Bread and millk is not allways bad if your ferret is off its food,then a day or two on slops will help a bad tummy. An egg is allways a treat Andy they like eggs do ferrets. Looks like that ferrets landed on his feat finding you ...

 

[andyc54]

cheers elen im sure cats and ferrets dont mix to well

thanks for all that red fox im feeding him dry ferret food and fresh chicken wings from the local butcher ohh and he got turkey for his christmas dinner...

hes not spoiled at all lol

i knew about the slops been bad as there lactose intolerant when doing research.will try an egg tomorrow

i'll try my best to give him a great life so i hope he has landed on his feet

Is he from working stock or pet stock?

 

[Bushwhacker]

Me and other people i know fed ferrets on cat food which kept them healthy and full of themselfs.

Cat food isn't even good for cats let alone ferrets. Far too much salt in it (which will affect the kidneys) and not enough protein content for a ferret.
Not so bad if it is supplemented by pigeon, rabbit, squirrel, but still not the best all the same.
