we have worked him on some big setts aswell mate.we found the jills couldnt shift some of the rabbits and were getting kicked about so when this was happening he was entered and soon got them on the move.its worth its weight in gold.im just hoping the young hob ends up with the same working qualities as him

the two jills i lost didnt scratch the coat off the rabbits but they wouldnt shift out until everything was out and they never killed to ground.im hoping i can say the same for the two new ones ive just got in.but if yesterdays antics are anything to go by i can see a lot of digging coming our way

had a canny day and a good laugh.arrived at the permission at about 8 o clockto be greeted by quite a bit of white stuff .myself,john and connor got all the gear out of the van and headed off.after trudging through about three foot of snow,falling over god knows how many times we arrived at the first sett.i took my old hob and its son,the young hob is in experienced so i thought id take it and give him a go.after netting up the sett the best we could i entered the young hob.he wasnt to ground long before the squealing started.the ferret was to ground ages and i thought it had killed the rabbi

All fuel is paid for mate courtesy of SKY up to 750 personal miles a month on the fuelcard More money towards more nets and stuff though got the two jills mate and theyre no bother,also scored for a new ferret box aswell.ive had a bit craic on with the bloke this morning...he kindly informed me he has just sold a brand new mk3 with two collars and sixteen hempnets for 65 quid,and if he knew i was in the market for one he would have done it to me for a it cheaper,thats p***ed right on my clogs

lesson has been learned mate,we wont be going anywhere near those setts again,no matter how many rabbits are in them,were going to stick to the smaller setts regardless of wether we get rabbits or not,well thats until we manage to save our pocket money up enough to buy a jcb,lol
-
well,ive been out with john-b tonight,in the space of an hour or so weve managed to get a brand new mk3 locator with two collars,some more purse nets and two new jill ferrets.im going to have my work cut out with the new jills as they are the sisters to the huge sandy ive got.theyve never been handled or been anywhere near a sett,so the challenge is set ( again ).ive got to get them tamed up and hopefully grafting before the season ends and breeding starts.im picking the ferrets up in the morning...happy days

i wouldnt worry about it too much as long as its in no discomfort.a ferret uses its nose and ears when underground anyway as their eyesight isnt he best.as long as its eating and drinking ok i wouldnt worry too much about it
