- Here is a little video that's been put together about the basic care of your working ferrets. I hope it's helpful it has worked very well for myself and I would just like to pass my knowledge onto fellow ferret keepers.
Yeah, animals have their positives and negatives. It's what makes them unique. We humans have our positives and negatives too! XD
I love how open you are discussing them, and sharing your passion with us. I have adopted three amazing kits from you. They have been lovingly handled, reared and well looked after. And I agree. Patience. Kindness. A gentle grows a gentle ferret. And what's great is that you encourage natural ferreting behaviour by taking them rabbiting. They have the best life. I will look forward to more videos, I can't wait to see them rabbiting with you! Thank you again for sharing your knowledge! Subscribed!!
The hutches are far to small for 1 ferret let alone you have 3 pregnant jills that are in kit and they could have 4 to 12 kits sometimes more and they cant be moved they have to stay in them hutches untill the kits are about 7 weeks then you can put them in another hutch and you dont need to separate the jills this early atall not untill the final week or 2 before birth then seperate i can see your pretty new to all this ferrets ferreting stuff no offence but no point in trying to act and aspecially sound professional fella when you still have alot to learn not nocking you atall though just saying
Hi mate. I started this channel to simply express the knowledge that I have of my ferrets and ferreting to help people out. The jills aren't in those cages to have their kits they are in much bigger cages. I'm not a professional at all and I'm not trying to be I'm simply expressing the knowledge I know.
@@alliencepestcontrol1483 so the jills ent having there kits in them little hutches then ? Make sure the jills are seperated a week or 2 before the due date alone in a hutch each dont touch or look at the kits for atleast a week or 2 aswell if you want to risk a jill biting you and eating and killing her kits its up to you not all do but commonly they do though so need to be left alone minimum of a week or week before you start looking and touching them i dont mean to sound horrible mate but just the way you was talking is how it come across to me i will subcribe to your channel now fella as i look forward to seeing you grow in the sport of ferreting where abouts are you from mate ?
I'm from Hertfordshire mate
motohunter my 2 EU polcat Jill's have a double decker 6 ft hutch with a 15 ft X 4 ft outside run attached. A get horrified when I see tiny quarters for them . I think to many are kept in prison like conditions today

Subscribed mate. I'm based in Bedfordshire but desperate to get one of my Jill's working. Perhaps we can organise something in the future pal!
Hi buddy send me over some sort of contact and I will see what we can do
No biting please
Just gentle respect.
Make sure you clean out your ferrets too.
Fed and water them
No wet environment
Dry bedding
Enrichment
Plenty of toys.
Hiya yes sorry thanks for adding that!
Why do u only catch rabbits in the winter?
Hi Lewis. There are a few reasons we only catch rabbits in the winter and here are our main reasons!
1. There are not young/baby rabbits in the winter
2. The brambles/foliage have died down as to the point where we are able to access the rabbit warrens.
3. We are able to work out whole team of Hobs and Jill's together without having any randy hobs try mating Jill's constantly.
4. Waking up on a nice frosty morning and enjoying a cup of coffee in the field once first Warren is netted is an awesome feeling
Hi, I feed my young working Jill ferret food from pets at home, how often should I feed her and how much roughly. She looks well and big near her tail but I’m not sure if it’s because it’s winter and she is getting thicker fur
Hi .. Do u breed ur ferrets in these setups ??
hi there i tend to put a hob in a cage on his own away from the tier hutches and leave a jill with him for 2 days to ensure he has covered her properly.
@@alliencepestcontrol1483 Can i get your whatsapp number or any fb or insta link so that i can solve my queries regularly ??
Send me your details and I'll ping you message on Facebook
@@alliencepestcontrol1483 This is my fb profile link - facebook.com/drbhavesh.soni.9
How do they fair in the winter, do you have a different set up, do they come inside or just a deeper bedding?
what flooring are you using ???? heard shavings are bad but i need a type of substrate as there outdoors
Hi there I use woodshavings from a pet shop mate. Never had any problems with it soaks up the urine well and then in the bedding area they have either hay or straw depending what I have available to me
@@alliencepestcontrol1483 cheers for that mate any idea on whats in it like pine or aspen or anything ???
@@MrQuin96 I will have a read of what I use in just a second then I will send the what's on the package
@@alliencepestcontrol1483 awsome thanks alot mate
@@MrQuin96 ok mate so reading the packet and all it says is its made from pure dust free white wood for quality hygienic bedding. How ever if you go to any pet shop you can also buy the bulk 20 kilo bags and a. That lasts a while depending on how many you house and b. You may find it better quality than some of the smaller bags/ different brands
Good video
Good vid bud 👌
Very interesting. You don't keep a hob to work the jill(s) off a rabbit caught in a dead-end?
Hi there. I do indeed work hobs to push the Jill's of the rabbits if I'm not Ferreting with a locator on the Jill the hob will have the collar on
@@alliencepestcontrol1483 why use jills if hobs are bigger and stronger?
Can you put up a video on breeding g ferrets in the next season
Yes no problem I'll try my best
Good lad
