Good on yer fella..Good read.
Keep trying your other ferret mate I'm sure he'll come good just a bit behind the other thats all it often happens.
Hemp nets are great nets to work with but as matt241075 quiet rightly says they are not built to last and 6oz+ spun nylon nets are just as good.in my honest opinion they are even better.
Good to see that your in it for the right reasons....Well done
