I would hope though that the ferrets are cared for ok? May be worthwhile going along and just keeping zip!

Naaah course not! I'll stash some sickbags in the car just in case they're full of it though.

Meh, they have nice housing and the like but IMO you could support better, lol. They may have changed in the past couple of years as we haven't had anything to do with them since the last time we contacted them about a PR show, but I have heard that they have not so...

Hmm bit far for me, would've liked to seen the ferts first before having them! Shame because they sound like a nice place Unless they go to shows or travel?...

Just came back from seeing the breeder, the ones avaliable are 5months old, from working stock, kept outside and not handled much(and when they are, it's with gloves and looks kinda rough lol).

I kind of took a fancy to the jills but I'm sort of wary, especially if they've not been handled. What do you guys think?

Certainly wouldn't pay for them if you did get them! If you're a first time owner, don't bother at all.

I am a first timer lol, I'll keep looking then.
Quite interested by the rescue angoraferret mentioned, might just wait and see if she replies.. silly tame ferrets sound good to me.

Err has anyone had any dealings with the Wigan Ferret shelter? I've been texting Judy from there and I get the feeling she's basically telling me to eff off as I'm not living in the area...
