Fairoak Ferrets Ferretry

Phew! So time for updates!
Our litters are born for 2023. We have decided on 4 litters:

Radiance x Ocelot (Stardew Valley litter 2 Angora and 2 Semi Angora)
Lightning x Arbiter (Yooka-Laylee litter 1 Angora and 1 Semi Angora)
Cloud 9 x Arbiter (Bugsnax Litter 10 Part angoras and 3 angora)
Sunwing x Banjo (Super Monkey Ball Litter 8 Half Angoras)

We have not had many full Angoras this year and this has been our biggest ask on the wait list, however we are contemplating doing 2 late litters for the end of the season. Poppet was mated to Weiss but unfortunately had a phantom pregnancy so we would be remating her and potentially mating Serina to Blumaroo (if he’s up to the task as he is a veteran!)

I have been going through emails and messages last night and this morning and still have many more to do. I plan to answer EVERYONE by the end of tonight so please hang tight! We have been a bit swamped!

Hello all!! Long time no post I know…🙈😒🙈

Things have been really busy behind the scenes, I haven’t been online much with the Ferretry nor have I answered many of your messages and for that I apologise!

Our first litter of 2023 has graced us already, 4 little Meepers from Fairoak’s The Radiance x Fairoak’s Revolver Ocelot !!

We do have a couple more litters on the way. Updated photos of the kits each week will resume as usual plus the albums updated with the Adults pictures when I get a chance to sit down and catch up on all my admin!

For now have a little squee at these guys and I’ll be online again soon enough 🥰❤️

Thank you all for your kind words regarding our loss of Austin the other week, we really do appreciate it and are so overjoyed to hear how many peoples hearts he touched over the years ❤️

We are still breeding, and we do have litters planned for 2023 but I appreciate I haven’t posted updates on plans yet and many of you are messaging to know more!

Our potential plans this year are:

Fairoak’s Poppet x Fairoak’s Grimoire Weiss
Fairoak’s Blumaroo x Fairoak’s Serina
Fairoak’s Arbiter x Fairoak’s Marigold
Fairoak’s Banjo x Fairoak’s Olympia
Fairoak’s Banjo x Fairoak’s Cloud 9
Fairoak’s The Radiance x Fairoak’s Revolver Ocelot

Not all these pairings will be going ahead, only those with highest interest. I’ve got a lot of emails and messages to catch up on for those of you wishing to join the Waiting List!

Updated Photos of the ferrets will be posted over the next few weeks along with our pairing photos for visual 🙂

Our Jill’s are yet to come into season so our projected litters won’t be born till early May with readiness to leave being June/July.

More updates to come! 🐾🐾

The end of an era.
ROYAL ANGORA FERRETS LITTLE AGGY AUSTIN OF FAIROAK
1/7/2012 - 24/2/2023

I’ve always thought I was prepared for the day we would lose Austin, being an older gentleman close to his 11th birthday…
He passed away on the sofa next to me and Mitty. Very peacefully, he fell into his forever sleep. It’s been a hard loss as Austin has just always been here, and I’d started to think like he would live forever, to the point that I really wasn’t prepared to lose him at all.

Austin was the foundation of our breeding at Fairoak. He arrived to us in 2013, a little bundle of champagne fluff, little did we know that he would be the greatest little guy I’ve ever known ❤️
Austin never had much of a show career, by todays Angora standards he was minuscule, with a top weight of just 1.1kg, he often rested around 900g, the size of most of my Jill’s these days! 😂 He was quite feminine, and back in 2012-13 the topic of Angoras was still quite taboo. There were no Angora classes at the shows, and clubs were in divide and some even banning us. But we carried on campaigning, little Austin winning hearts and causing drama 😂

The classes started to appear here and there by the point of 2015, but tiny Austin never did well. We had our first litter from him in 2014, notably producing FAIROAK’s AMATERASU (Lady Ammy) our ferretry matriarch. In 2016 when Austin was 4 years old, he produced FAIROAK’s BLUMAROO, the key to our perfect noses.

Austin consistently produced beautiful kits, full angoras with perfect noses despite not having one himself! He may not have been a show prospect, but he certainly left a huge imprint on our lines even now in his great great great grandchildren!

He was an absolute sweetheart. Gentle and sweet in temperament, got along with everyone and all our ferrets seem to have had a respect for him. He leaves behind his group of old friends, and I know already that his wife Midna is mourning him terribly.

Hug your ferrets tightly guys, especially those of you with a descendant of Austin. I admit we were blessed with almost 11 years with our handsome gentleman and I will cherish those years always ❤️

Dook on my beautiful Austin Woozel ❤️ I miss you terribly 💔

Hope everyone is doing their best to stay cool in the great British heatwave!
The Fairoakers are thankfully under the cover of trees so temps haven't gotten too high for the ferretry or nursery. Plenty of frozen wrapped water bottles to sleep next to and plenty of fresh water for everyone :)

6 Week Photos of the Horizon babies will be up tonight, I didn't manage to finish logo-ing last night so had to delay till today :)

Enjoy a pic of Miniature Bull Terrier "Mitty" , doing her very best to help out with kit photoshoots.... 😂😅

Well, we've had a couple of weeks of somewhat calmness at the ferretry again as our wonderful kits have headed off to their fantastic new families 🥰
We have one last litter for 2022 that I've been keeping quiet.... a litter of Standard shorthairs! 😍 I've never had much luck with our shorthair line over the years, so decided to give things a go one last time, and Aloy did great! HUGE thanks go to the wonderful SharLowes Ferretry ~ Breeders Of Standard Ferrets who allowed us to use the handsome "Magnum" over our Aloy.

The kits are actually 6 weeks old already, and I'll be posting their photos over the next few hours :)
