Hi all, I've been reading the past few mails of this list and Im very impressed with the high standard of Ferret know-how. But it seems that most of the readers are American and you have Ferrets as pets. I myself live in the UK and use my 3 fellows as workers. ie, send them into warrens after rabbits. Does anyone else use there Ferrets like this? My 3 are very friendly. Billy, the oldest, has a very laid back approach to everything. Whilst my other 2, Snowball and noname, are very quick and alert. They were two out of a litter of twelve my jill(s) dropped last spring. I have them housed in a big, solid rabbit type hutch in the back garden. Its warm, dry and they get well looked after. Living near farms I get all the straw and wood chipping I need. And anytime I need too I can get a baby pig (still born) for there dinner. Mind you it takes them two days to eat it... :) Well there ya go a quick look at a British Ferrets working life. -- ================== ======================================== [log in to unmask] | "Bother!" said Pooh, as he pulled the fire <=- RoSSi -=> | axe from Piglets head. ================== ======================================== [Posted in FML issue 1810]
