Does anyone keep Ferrets ? I'd like to know if you can keep a male and female in the same cage without ending up over run with little ferrets. Do they have seasons or shopuld they be kept apart ?

Dunc I believe there is a company that can supply what you need. The only problem is the ferrets do not care for the treatment needed. Anyway the company you need is something like Fudrox or something similar
hope this is of use to you
ps just remembered the companies name.
it's Durex
;D

Dunc Firstly, don't touch any ferrets offered by teejayexc. I've heard rumours. My 1st cage was a Vauxhall Viva. Find out more about the seasons by listening to Vivaldi. Have you considered winemaking instead?

My mate used to keep both male and female ferrets in the same cage, but he bred them so probably not much help to your situation, but I thought I'd say it all the same. You have to take the male out before the little-uns (pups?) appear as the dad may want to eat the babies.

Don't use eBay they're usually from Hong Kong and you have to pay an import fee.

Not really but I'm a keen horticulturist. My first cage was a Cortina 1600E but I wouldn't keep ferrets in it.

Make sure the female ferret is really ugly and that the male never gets to drink alcohol. You should be alright then. Now for hampsters you need a real expert- see www.richard-gere.com

Sellotape is best for hamsters, duct tape can cause a nasty rash (to both of you).

Male ferrets smell horrible so usually get snipped solving both cage and aroma problems.
Better off with a whippet - far more friendly. Or a greyhound better still. If you are hunting wabbits try a bright lamp and a lurcher.

B&Q are doing specials on tablelamps at the moment. Would they be suitable with a generator?

Should I reverse the wires on the plug? Or just fit a bigger fuse and hope for the best?

As a much travelled expert on the vagaries of domestic electricity supplies world wide, I can assure you that reversing the wires could prove to be a hair raising experience. I would suggest you invest in one of these go anywhere plug in thingmies that you can purchase in any airport duty free electric appliance shop (I don't do adverts). I have to warn you that depending on your ports of call the supply could be wrong for the devices you plan to energise from the socket. Fuse sizes and Frequency of supplies can also vary causing disruption of certain video, type equipment. This can seriously affect the quality of the Porn you plan to peruse.
I suggest you get your equipment checked over by a suitably qualified expert to ensure disasters are avoided
