Ferry Ferretry & Boarding Small breeder of angora & working line ferrets - boarding & rescue space for strays available! Hobbyist breeder of standard coat ferrets.
(1)

Kits are handled daily and only bred from ferrets with sound temperaments and health. The kits are exposed to a variety of quality foods including whole rabbit, (domestic) rat, chicks, raw minces and multiple kibble brands whilst young. This is to prevent fussy feeding later in life. No kit to leave the mother under 8 weeks of age by law under any circumstances. Although this page is primarily to

display my own breeding projects, I will also never leave any ferret in need. Found a stray that needs help? Contact me and I’ll do my very best to help. I can assist in reuniting with a potential owner and make sure that any owner claims are genuine and not a case of animal theft, rehoming to a suitable new home if an owner is not found, and in some cases can help with humane trapping. Please be mindful in the majority of cases, the stray ferret found will need to be brought to my care, as I currently do not drive. All strays will be contained for 10 days in search of their owner, if none come forward, they are then offered for adoption to a suitable new owner. All strays will ALWAYS be checked for a microchip prior to this. I never make profit from strays, I only ask for a donation towards upkeep whether that’s a cash donation, a bag of food, some whole prey such as rabbits or a bag of bedding. It’s all greatly appreciated and first and foremost, a forever home is what matters to me. I will not rehome ferrets to those who have not done their research on how to keep these animals. First time keepers who’ve done their research and experienced keepers alike both welcome to inquire. Ferrets will gladly be sold to both good working and pet only homes. I also offer nail trimming for pet ferrets at £2 per ferret. Done fast and hassle free. I also offer a free pest control using my team of ferrets against rats and rabbits. Please feel free to inquire further. Respect to your property is upheld at all times and I’m always happy to help. I am also BASC insured for peace of mind. I am based in Briton Ferry, South Wales. Exact address will not be disclosed publicly, please message me privately for this when picking up a kit or handing in a stray. Tips for reuniting found ferrets:

I urge people to never upload a photo of the animal you’ve captured itself. This is an invitation for anyone to claim the ferret as their own when it might not belong to them. It has unfortunately, happened to many people including myself and it is beyond soul destroying to see someone falsely claim and steal a beloved pet. Instead, mention you have found a ferret in wherever location you found it with no detail of the actual animal. Withdraw all information such as colour, photos, gender, etc and ask any potential owners who are wanting to claim the animal for proof, be it an accurate description and preferably photos on top. Make sure that the description and images someone is making a claim with matches the description of the ferret you have found. Ferrets unfortunately are often times not microchipped, but can be and should always be taken to a vet to be scanned for a chip. All of mine, for example are microchipped. Additionally if a stray is brought to me, I can take them to a local vet to be scanned for a chip and this will always be done before rehoming, should it come to that. If you have to care for the ferret before it can come to me or another rescue, they can be fed cat food in an emergency should you have it on hand, but ideally any raw unprocessed meat is best. Ferrets cannot digest plant matter. They are strict carnivores. Though can also have raw egg as a nourishing treat from time to time. There are also Facebook groups specifically for reuniting lost ferrets. The two I frequent are as follows: https://en-gb.facebook.com/groups/FerretsLostAndFoundUK/ and https://www.facebook.com/groups/817773371617857/

Two hob kits now gone off to their forever homes with the most amazing setups, this year’s kits have been especially an absolute delight to raise. By far the cuddliest litter I’ve ever produced, I’m really pleased.

I still have one hob and one jill looking for their new homes! Please comment if interested and I’ll contact you on my personal account. They are £15 each or two for £25.

It's a tough life being a baby ferret!

Snuggling up with this year's kits!

These 4 will be ready to go to their new homes in 3 weeks. 3 hobs, 1 jill. Lovely dark polecat colours with dark noses like their parents and will be handled extensively daily. Pet and working homes welcome. Proof of setup is required. The ferrets I breed will only go to those who are experienced or to new owners who've done their research. Not to be sold as disposable hunting equipment or an impulse buy pet.

This stray albino jill sadly wasn’t claimed and wasn’t microchipped. She has thankfully recovered well after being covered in ticks and went off to her new home today! She had a quick cuddle with me here before being on her way.

Sadly every stray that’s ever been handed into my ferretry has not been microchipped. Very few have been claimed. From this year forward, all kits bred by myself will be microchipped and this will be included into the cost of buying a kit from me. Please consider microchipping your ferrets! It’s especially helpful for the ones harder to distinguish from each other like the albinos!

28/02/2024

Stray ferret handed in. Withholding s*x and colour to prevent theft, will be scanned for a microchip asap. Safe and being cared for at the ferretry.

Has an experienced new home lined up if not claimed in a week. Please message me if you’ve lost a ferret in the Neath Port Talbot area.

Stray ferret handed in, withholding information on colour and s*x to avoid theft. Found in Swansea.

Has been out for a while, greasy, very long nails and has fleas and ticks which I’ve treated for now. Very tame.

Will be taking to the vet to scan for a microchip on the 1st which is the soonest I’m able to. Safe at the ferretry. If not claimed within a week, will be staying with me. 🙂 message me if you think this is your ferret.

We have boarding space available at the ferretry! 🙂 Feel free to message me if interested!

Frozen rats raised to order available, just let me know the size and quantity you need and I will give you a quote. Suitable for snakes, ferrets, birds of prey and more. Collection only from Briton Ferry.

My feeder rats are not just humanely euthanised, they are also humanely raised. They are not raised in rodent racks, but a large two story cage with tons of enrichment, space to play and fed high quality food.

If interested please PM me!

Sad news here at the ferretry today.

When cleaning out the enclosure I found Fritz had passed away, he was curled up in his bed and at least looked very peaceful.

Alongside his brother Frankie, who is also no longer with us, he was my first ferret and sparked my interest in ferrets to where it is today.

The smallest hob I’d ever seen, he was so cheeky and full of personality. It was impossible not to laugh with him around.

Rest in peace my beloved boy, I hope you are now reunited with your brother after all these years. 💕

Nothing makes me happier than seeing updates from the new owners of the kits I've bred! Two of this year's kits looking very grown up and enjoying their new spacious enclosure!

US followers, stay tuned for next spring. I have been doing lots of reading into exporting ferrets overseas and I will be very excited to have the opportunity to help in providing US ferret keepers with well bred kits, as opposed to the very poorly mill bred ferrets that are unfortunately rampant over there. Let’s do our part to make well bred ferrets more readily available overseas!

I do also have plans to sell breeding pairs to US keepers, expected to start in about 2 years time.

Please note that of course, importing animals is a very expensive procedure and all traveling expenses and arrangement MUST be done and covered by the new owner. Please also make sure to check your state’s laws on whether ferret ownership is legal or not!

Off to their new home now where they're going to be completely spoilt, and get an enclosure as big as mine! Even better, they're going to the lovely lady who boards her other two with me when she goes on holiday, so these two will also get to board with me in the future! :D it'll be great to see them again soon, especially as they grow!

04/09/2022

Last two kits have now been reserved and will go to their new home on Saturday!

I now have no kits available for sale until next year’s breeding season, however if I get any unclaimed strays in, they will be advertised here ready for adoption. 🙂

The girls loving this chicken carcass mince! Plenty of calcium, great for both mum and building strong, healthy kits.

The tiniest sip!

All this year's kits want to do is explore. Mum has other ideas however! All three have been doing great, even the one with a missing back foot has been zooming around the place. Lots of daily handling, and now eating minced chicken carcass and moistened kibble.

(Please excuse the state of my nails! Was doing garden work not long before I took this video) Handling this year's kits daily starting now. All are available to reserve with a £5 non refundable deposit. All 3 are females. Turning phone off for the day to spend some much needed me time, but will answer any inquiries starting Monday onwards. :)

Fritz enjoying his hanging basket! He's so small for a hob, but that makes it all the better for him to fit in the basket so comfortably.
