    i got caught fairly rotten that way lost 2 weeks ago. put my buck down with no collar on his first day out just on a kind of trial run. waited a few hours and came back the next few days but never found him. i learnt my lesson the hard way

    i have only one locater collar, are the chances of losing the little one great, or will she tag along with the older ferret?

    hi folks, need some advice. i have a kit a got in this summer. she's coming to size now and i was wondering whats the best way to get them working happily. i am going to start putting the collar on her for a day or two to let her get used to it, but what way should i approach getting her to start bolting rabbits. thanks, stephen

    i have had the same problem with the kit i have at the moment and the one i brought up through the summer. what i did was pick them up and everytime the nipped i made a hiss sound right in the face. this works excellent so it does as they identify the sound with something that doesnt like being bitten. it took it right out of them completly. also spit on the palm of your hand when you handle them and let them lick it off. i guarantee these two methods will work great, i have seen the results myself first hand.

    thanks folks. hopefully it will turn up. i'l keep working on my kit and put my new jill on her new diet of meat instaed of cat food like she was eating with her previous owner. i cant wait to see her coat come along. any tips for cleaning them, i usually just give them a quick run under a tap, probobly not the best thing but they dont seem to mind too much.

    there was an area i was hunting at the start of the year. it was literally like watership down. i had never seen so many rabbits in one area. well after the worst summer in over 40 years here in ireland the mixy has obliterated all of them. was out there yesterday. a one year old terreir was able to run them down and they were looking so sick it was unbeleivable. i put a few ferrets into the burrows but all we gor was one dead rabbit with mixy. there nothing left. its very sad

    quote] She will get used to the collar and will soon be running down the buries...Patience Grasshopper.. i know, i may excercise some patience i suppose. the real keller is being so patient with the first hob i had. i had him so tame that he would sit up on my shoulder as i walked around, and i wont even tell you about the piggy backs he used to get around on the back of my rottweiller, you wouldnt even beleive me! and to lose him on his first outing. very cruel thing to happen me

    ok here goes. at the moment i dont have room for a new dog but im itching to get my first springer spanial, for everything between rough shooting, decoying, and wildfowling. now i know that it aint easy train a springer and what i have decided to do is to buy a one or two year old fully trained dog. From doing all this thinking, i have decided that im going to make my purchase in england or wales. I dont mind spending up to £800 for a dog, once i get my moneys worth. I was hoping that the UK members here would have some insight into this, and can anyone give me advice as to whether i am doing
