    50 or so nets 2 25m longnets spade probe locater and 2 collars secaters knife folding saw ferts as needed in box drink clothing as required carry it all in an old roe sack even the rabbits on the ay back for me the roe sack means i can keep all the gear together all the time so no probs forgetting stuff like knives and flasks.

    one of my permissions has a large sloped bank that can often mean a straight down dig of about 10 ft but because of the angle of the bank its often possible to dig into it rather then down to it sandy mostly so not that bad most of the time id rather wait for them here though. only dug it twice though mostly most digs are below the 4ft mark

    trouble with dry food usually is keeping the weight down personally i would not use cat food not best suited to ferrets digestion could be worms i suppose if they wont put weight on or just skinny ferts i have to watch the weight of mine through the summer when they are on the dry asthey usually pile the weight on if not watched closely.

    digging is a part of ferreting unfortunately getting the amount of digging to a minimum is what you have to work out there are plenty of methods to reduce digging but it will happen sometimes i have a ferret that will kill and move on and also a number that will stick with a rabbit till they are bored or i get to them all of them have a place in the team.

    front line spray is the one you want but you need to get the ticks off first with the remover then spray them to get rid of any that you have missed otom tick puller is the one you want dont use the spot on if you can get the spray the spray is far superior

    ferret gets interested in the hole you have just dug and moves away from the rabbit a bit so much so that you cannot get a hold on it or feel it in the pipe

    my kids take mine for walks and they are like racing snakes fit as you like they know to pick them up when any dogs are about, kids treat them as pets.

    could be the ferrets arnt going down to the lower tunnels so they are not working the full warren. or it could be that they are getting the run around by the rabbits a 3 hole warren can contain a lot of underground pipe work. as to the ferret popping in and out its the most annoying thing they do i find. the only cure to this is to let the ferret totally out of the hole then try to pick it up what ever you do dont grab at the ferret while its doing this other wise you will end up with a hole sulker and it will be like this for good if it persists try a bit of rabbit to tease it out of some fer

    having been pestered by my 8 year old lad all week about when i would be finally taking him out with the ferts again i finally succumed to his demands today, i only say this as last time i took him it was like taking a footy stadium full of fans singiung and shouting, well today he was told about the way in which to go about things and most of all to keep his gob shut. after having a chat with the farmer we set off and got a few of the all ready done sets that i have been doing in the previous few weeks most of which had been broken out again to some extent. First copule of warrens pro

    trim all the excess collar down as much as moss this is the only real solution but even then they will still catch a bit
  23. muddy210
    make the collars up on the largest hole slip over the head then tighten. get some ferretone and put the colars on then let them have the ferretone do this without going ferretingfor a few days they will get the idea of collar on i get a treat if mine see the collars they know they are going out and cant wait to get them on never have a problem collaring up
