  1. I bought a deben mk3 off eBay and when I got it it was working fine but a couple days later it stopped working so I put new batteries in the locator and in the tracker thing but it’s still not working
  2. I’ll try my best to find them but they’re not abundant
  3. Ok thanks everyone I’ll give them a miss but it’s a shame because they’re the only holes with rabbits in that I know of.Hopefully on the weekend I’ll go to another place where there’s rabbits and no badgers to have a go.
  4. But is is dangerous for the ferrets ferreting near them?Do the holes connect to the rabbit ones or am I safe as long as I make sure they don’t go into the badger ones?
  5. Yes there’s lots of shit pits and I’ve seen badgers here last time I was here a couple years ago
  6. There’s some rabbit holes I want to ferret on a hedge line but there’s a couple badger holes there too amongst them a couple feet away from the holes and I was wondering if it was safe to go ferreting there because I heard that the badger holes might link up with the rabbit holes? I’m not sure if that’s true or not but I was wondering if it’s safe for the ferrets
  7. I went out again earlier and as I was walking through a field I saw 2 rabbits, one went down a hole which was in the field and one ran down the hill into cover, so I put nets over all 3 of the holes that I could see in the field and put both my ferrets down and around 5 minutes later I heard the bells from one of the collars 20 yards away at a hedge line so I went there and I saw one of my ferrets out of the hole walking along and he came out of some rabbit holes that I had no idea linked with the one in the field because it looked like it was quite far away and I hadn’t netted the ones on the
  8. Thanks everyone so much, yesterday I tried them on some holes a couple of which looked like they might of been in use and some of them had holes outside where the rabbits had been digging and some lose dirt but I don’t think there was any rabbits in any of the holes I tried and I found some loose rabbit fur on this patch of mud and I tried the nearest holes to that still with no luck but I had a walk last night and outside a hole that I put the ferrets down there was fresh droppings still wet and I found some wet droppings outside a hole that I haven’t ferreted so I’ll keep trying and I’ll try
  9. I have a vizsla but I’m not sure if she’d mark, I don’t think my ferrets would get along with her and she’s not good with sheep
  10. Should I put them both down the holes or just one?
  11. I have 2 hobs and they’re around 4 months old and I’ve bought 10 purse nets, a carrier,pegs, and a mk3 locator with the trackers and coolers but I was wondering if they look ready and is that all I need because I was thinking of going out this weekend, even though I live in the county and everything there’s not actually many rabbits around here so I’ll see how it goes.
  12. What purse nets should I get like what size, brand and material because I’ve seen nylon ones but I heard about one that was made out of a different material and it tightens more or something or doesn’t it matter
  13. Can ferrets eat crows and magpies?
  14. I have 2 hobs that are around 3 and a half 4 months old and I want to know when are they old enough to start working? And is there anything that I need to do to prepare them?
