If your son is young I would get an older pair of boys, and you shouldn't get just one! Kits tend to be nippy and it's a bit late in the year to get a kit now.

Hi thanks for the advice, my son is nearly 12 yrs old, he wanted a kit because he wants to train him to his ways and train him to walk on a lead etc, i will tell him he's better off with an older one, thanks

I wouldn't worry about train ability with them at all, any age ferret can learn new tricks with a patient owner and a few tasty treats, ferrets are very easy to train, and IMO kits are harder to train as they have a literally 2 second attention span.

i wouldnt suggest a kit to be honest, not as a first time ferret.

you want a nice docile adult male, 2 years up i would say...

im in norfolk, dereham(my house) or yarmouth(partners house) i have a couple adult boys here, if you are interested. let me know.

thanks
bobbie
