A bit of a sad day today as I strip out the ferret penthouse, ready to move on to something new. I'll be reusing as much of the pipes as I can for the area where the ferrets are now.
It's a bit sad seeing the penthouse life less the ferrets were bundles of fun and joy youl miss them I have kept ferrets for years I used to work them then I had a 20 year break from them when I moved house I went in to keeping birds in avarys but got the ferrets back now they are in a big aviary I don't work them there just pets but the pleasure of seeing them in a natural environment now is on a different level the birds were great to watch but that's all you can do is watch were with the ferrets you can interact with them hours and hours of fun I did the best thing in getting the ferrets back hoping to get a mink next year check out are channel the cat and ferret good luck with your next chapter chickens etc
I still have four ferrets that I'm keeping I'm gonna be rebuilding an area for them. They're in a hutch that I'm gonna add the pipes to. I won't be working them again as there's no rabbits around here and I've sold off all my equipment at the beginning of this year. I was gonna re-home them all but I've been talked into keeping the ones I have left.
@@ruralpestcontrol that's good thanks for replying I have 4 2 eu polcats and 2 white ones all hobs the polcats are like mink there little swines ha boss tho they bit hard the battles out of them are boss
@@carld9451 I had two half eu Jill's a few years ago and they would not get on with one of my other Jill's. I ended up rehoming them in the end. I did breed a litter off one of them and I still have a Jill from that litter today, and a hob from her litter 3 years ago.
@@ruralpestcontrol so far they have been sound with the other ferrets also with them all being castrated helps they have all been together now for 18 months no need to seperate them in the breeding season its going to be interesting next year when I get the mink I can do videos on them how they get on did ye check out are channel the cat and ferret lad cheers mate
@@neilgilbert830 theres no rabbits round here now. Plus my dad's health isn't the best so he can't come with me. So I basically decided to pack up working the ferrets and sold all my gear at the beginning of this year. I was gonna re-home all the ferrets but I've been talked into keeping the last 4 I have.

@@carld9451not yet but I will 👍
Put nest boxes off the floor about 3ft keeps them cleaner
Cool, I still need to work out all details of what's going where. But any advice ideas greatly appreciated 👍
@ruralpestcontrol and if you can you could put a access hatch from the outside to collect the eggs without going in
@@Night-Rider8585there's only one wall I could do that on 🤔

How did you fasten the pipe to the wood?
Cable ties
@@ruralpestcontrol how did you fasten the cable ties to the wood though?
Staples the U shaped nails. Don't hammer them all the way in so they leave you a loop to thread the cable tie through. If that makes sense
