Thread: Another Ferret

I was finding only heads left of ferrets in the doc250s....the heads were under the crush plate,everything else eaten...then I caught the big fella..only his head fitted in trap....they grow big with plenty of food.

I got one once and it was big and heavy so i weighed it, it came in at 1.5 kg. I was listening to a talk by Cam Speedy and he was talking about 2kg ferrets in i think it was Tongariro Nat Park .. that is just enormous.

I shot one or two in the Twizel area that were the size of a small cat, even the first load of no.4 didn’t kill them.

They do such a great job with those faces! Really tempted to learn first hand how to do proper taxidermy like that. Are the noses and lips some sort of rubbery artsy material? Epoxy?

Great pets....until

I had 2 pet ferrets when I was younger back in the old country, they were amazing pets.
