Yeah I had some of them thy get tangled in the bag and pick up every bit of twig or leave.
-
Spun poly is the best imo.
-
Is it these youre looking for? http://www.dogtronix.com.au/ferretterrier-finder-mk-3-extra-collar-p-35.html

I dont think the snip changes the hormone level at all. As for castration when I had my dog castrated my vet told me that it takes around 9 months dont know how different it would be for ferrets.
-
I used to get blisters when I first started but fine now. I wasnt aware that the bottom of the needle was for pulling the twine tight Ive been using my hand.
-
I got 3 jills this season around the same age. Im dying to try them out but Im told its best to let them mature so Im thinking mid November.
-
I have 5 ferrets and I paid £10 a piece for them which I think is a fair price considering the ammount of food a litter of ferrets gets through.
-
The Simon Whitehead mentioned above is the best on the subject imo. Working Ferrets by Jackie Drakeford is well worth a look as well.
-
Ive fed my ferrets collared doves and they were fine.
-
Do they realy drown? Id have thought they would move to higher ground.
-
Yeah make the ferret fearful thatl help loads.
-
Is it just nipping or biting hard and hanging on? The method I use now is to hold my finger in a ferrets mouth for a couple of seconds to make it gag. They usualy get the message in a few days. I got a pair of albino jills years ago that hadnt been handled so were nippy. I sprayed my hands with bitter apple and every time they nipped I held my finger in the ferrets mouth for a second to let them get the taste. This put them off biting in no time.

I use one of these http://www.screwfix.com/p/roughneck-micro-shaft-round-point-shovel/53829 Not a folding shovel but it is small and light.
-
I use these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15-EXTRA-HEAVY-DUTY-CAMPING-6-15CM-PLASTIC-TENT-PEGS-/290564059518?pt=UK_SportsLeisure_HikingCamping_Tents_JN&hash=item43a6f7b17e Cheap and easy.
-
I was out the other week and was having a similar day. Im in the south east so Im thinking its still to early. I usualy wait until October but was eager to get going this season.
-
Ive only fed my ferrets squirrel a few times but they seem to love them.
-
Whole animal usualy rabbit pigeon or corvid of some kind.
-
Never seen a net without 2 rings before. I like to stick the bottom ring in the ground inside the hole so I think Ill stick with them.
-
Takes me over an hour to do a straight purse net but they are good nets. Havent learned how to do a shaped net yet.
-
I like either spun poly or 12z nylon nets. Hemp is good to but higher maintanance.
-
If the hobs still in season he will probably try to mate with the kits even though theyre not in season so you may be better waiting until hes out.
-
Go out and ask a few farmers youd be suprised how often they say yes. Once youve done a good job on a permission more often follows through word of mouth.
-
I make my nets 15 by 21 meshes on a 2 1/8 mesh board. I find this big enough and havent often lost a rabbit in these nets. I do also have a couple of giant purse nets which occasionaly come in useful.
-
It took me ages to get the hang of the mk3m but now I have its a good tool. I agree theyre overpriced at around £160 with only one collar but even mk1 is still expensive second hand. One thing Id like to see on the mk3 is a headphone socket.
-
When he bites push your finger into his mouth a little this soon puts them off.
