I thought there was a higher risk of infection by working jills that are in season?

Went out ferreting for the first time today,was abit of a bust but enjoyable none the less.I had originally intended to take my 2 jills out but after checking them noticed both are in season so instead took one of the hobs up to a patch behind the house.There was plenty of activity,fresh digging and droppings.After getting the nets down and collar on the hob he entered the first hole only to come out again immediately.This continued for a good half hour with him not going more than a foot into each hole so after 2 hours on this warren we moved on to a small bank were the same thing happened wi

Went for a look at the field at the back of the house to see if there was anything going on.Found some nice warrens along the fence line and a larger mound,lots of cover but shouldn't be to much of a problem.Went to see and farmer who agreed to let me ferret.really happy with the result as ive only just starting so thrilled to have some permission to get going on.

Thanks for the responses guys.Went out today to have a look at one of the warrens I have access to.A large bank with a decent amount of holes only issue is the cover but thats easily fixed. Another thing,how do you all feed rabbits to your ferrets.I have always cut it up but can you feed it whole?
