    I put out a post on long netting section for any information or pictures on setting up drop nets. I have several property's where I can set them up and they will be safe. What I would like to know is how to build one I have plenty of long nettings but if anyone can give me advice on how to build a system to drop the net it would be great. I did ask the question on the long netting section but didn't get much information any help or advice on design will be appreciated.

    Excellent video I should have watched it more carefully the last time you put it on Thankyou for the information and no more milk for my ferrets. I remember when I was a kid around 40 years ago dad only fed the ferrets bread and milk the only time the ferrets got meat was maybe once a week and the livers from the rabbits. Amazing how you think you are doing the right things but they are totally wrong.

    Fantastic video with great information the cooling system is some thing I will be doing , I do have a system but not as simple and as good as what you have. The ferrets I like to use are the cut bucks as they are bigger and can defend for themselves this is only what I like everyone has their own opinion,but sometimes I will run a brother and sister. Once again great video and once this covid is over I will be coming up for a day out.

    Yep will do once the covid crap is over and the borders reopen, also what would be great if you done a short video on how your air conditioning works on your cages as it is a great idea and others like us who live in much hotter conditions can see a very simple and cost effective way on keeping the ferrets cool in summer. Maybe even start a new topic where people can show how they keep their ferrets cool in the heat.

    Well if you are looking for permission what I have been doing is hoping in the car and going for a drive when you see farmers working on fences , mowing or even people jus walking down the road just pull over and introduce yourself, that is how I have been getting mine in Australia and some of them have led onto other properties. The best form of communication with them is by texting them when you want to go ,and when you leave at the end of the day send them another text to let them know you have left and how you went. By letting them know you have if a naboure calls tham they my think you ar

    Sir blessed you have a fantastic set up ,I have watched quite a few of your videos and they are great I would recommend anyone in watching them as it’s amazing what you can learn just from watching. I am down in whittlesea around two hours away from you. If you want contact me and we will make a day of it plenty of bunnies around and I also have plenty of property’s to go on that I have permission. I get out quite a bit but it would be good to go out with someone that I think has possibly more knowledge than me and maybe show me some pointers.

    Great to see a good catch well done. In Victoria we still have a lot of young ones around I still need to wait a few more weeks.

    Well I have being using ferrets for around 30 years and never found the need for them. I know of a few old timers who still ferret and don’t use ferret locators a lot of the ground I ferret is like concrete and you wouldn’t even try to dig. I have being lucky to have not lost a ferret yet. They have held me up on the time but not very often and the ferrets are worked 2 to 3 times a month. I think it is a personal choice and on how good your ferrets are.

    Need to build another pen for my ferrets but this one will mainly be used for my female ferret for when she is pregnant any ideas on size of sleeping box and flooring and overall size as I want it to be different and more practical to check up on the kits. I am awere a much smaller mesh on the cage so the kits don’t get stuck in it. Any ideas or photos would be great.
