young ferret jill doing very well in the field
FERRETBOY replied to FERRETBOY's topic in Ferrets & Ferreting
she certainly is mate but im sure we'll be able to sort something out ,i was thinking bells but these quickly get clumped up with soil but with the watchfull eyes of the rangers at night will more than likely have to be the way to ferret the warrens in this field.i would still like a black eyed white so next year we'll deffinatley have a white one. good hunting rew -

FERRETBOY replied to FERRETBOY's topic in Ferrets & Ferreting
would normally use two but the other polcat ferret is blind.anyone worked a blind ferret?i thought it was better not to but not to sure if ferrets use there eyes under ground anyway.the two warrens were only two holers but both holes were about 10yrds apart from each other.another question.the ground was pretty sandy and i was geting a mark at 5ft but the thumping only seemed to be right under my feet.Do you think the finder was out or the vibrations were traveling through the tunnels?i cant wait to have her out again and she now is starting to follow me when i call her.we were stopped by the -
