Love my ferrets to bits, awesome little creatures

[@edwardcharles9764]

They're Mustelides not muscavids

[@gardeningwiththeharpers9068]

There are many things about this that’s upsetting!

[@Electronicpoacher1]

I love them ... used to have them as a lad and go ferreting and had a real campion hob called Smoky. Unfortunately as an adult I seemed to have developed an allergy to the smell and it gives me a terrible headache. A shame as we did try to rehome a pair and they even got on with our German Shepherd.

[@BrumCraft]

No way, I've never heard of that. I have eczema, so allergic to loads of animals, but these are hypoallegernic. Real shame for you mate!

[@mjallenuk]

I know I was so upset about it ... The kids loved them. I did consider setting them up in a proper insulated and warm shed but it would be me having to deal with cleaning and feeding most the time and it's not cool to end up with a near migraine. Had to pass on the idea. Hoping to go out with my friend ferreting later in the year so I can get my fix....lol

[@mjallenuk]

That spade looked well used... 🤣

[@tara6959]

They live 4 to 5 years "if you look offtuh them well"?? Please tell me you're joking! Their lives can't be that short

[@69Jackmix69]

Most people put the colliers on there working ferrets not put one on to find a missing ferret mate

[@Dusty357]

Nice video. Well made, well presented and very informative. Thanks.

[@chriswinslow5260]

This is pretty cool. Check out Joseph Carter the Mink Man. He trains mink to do pest control on rats, muskrats, etc. Very cool

lol ......

Great informational video! I had no knowledge of this sport, I've never seen or heard of it here in the US. I had a friend in school that had ferrets but they were merely pets. Thanks for the education! 🍀

[@justinholifield7708]

Brilliant made video shame no rabbit caught but part of ferreting.

[@chrischaplin922]

Totally recommend Michaels ferreting tuition. We had a great day.

Really well explained, Michael is an excellent spokesman for ferreting and for rabbits as a sustainable food resource. Thanks for uploading.
