    If you could have a wander around with a lamp after dark or have a nose about at dawn you might get an idea where the rabbits are

    Well I took him today for the first time with a little outing with the ferret. BIt of a brambly pine wood but it has very few rabbits but is easy too keep an eye on him. We never came across a rabbit but he gave a positive mark too a squirrel up a tree which really pleased me as he has never seen one in his life so this bodes well. He seems very good with the ferrets so far when I handle them in the yard but I will be keeping an eye on him.

    normally if you follow the gates it will leed you to the farm These are road side gates though I will knock on a door or too some one will know who owns them

    Any nifty web sites that show farm boundaries just roughly would suffice. I have my eye on a couple of fields but they could be owned by any one of about fours farms. Lining my self up for a rejection is bad enough with out doing it more times than needed

    I used old fertiliser bags this year and got about 4 lb of spuds out of each one and they tasted superb I had forgot what a potato should taste like. Few inches of compost and about 3 seed kestrel in each bag and topped up as they grew.

    Yep ferreting with out a dog is hard as I am finding out. I used to have a marking dog in my young days but now we have a pet cocker and can't have another dog so I am stuck doing it the hard way. Did about 6 warrens Sunday all looked fresh but no joy and also using inexperienced ferrets so you start too doubt the ferrets as well. I do plan too try our cocker but I aint hopeful he was yelping like a baby at the weekend when a bramble went across his nose so him diving into brambles too put rabbits too ground is a step or two away.

    I thought from what I have read it was more too do with the constant bleeding which caused the problem as they stay in season ? As I say I never had a problem 20 years ago but this is one of the joys of the internet you find out new info

    Just checking my options for the spring. I have two jills just over a year old and had them booked into the vets to be done. But at the last moment changed my mind encase one is a very good worker and I decide too have a litter in the future. So my options when they come into season are too sit tight and hope all is well. I don't member ever having problems when I had ferrets as a kid. Buy a hob and have him done for the purpose and also work him. I have read a vasectomised hob will bring jill out of season ? The jill jab is it a once a year thing ? Or find a localish vasectomised h

    How much do you handle them ? I try to handle my twice daily when I feed them even if it is only to pick them up quick stroke and back down again cause they were a little bit nippy too start as the wife found out But they are fine now

    Yes I made an extra hole it now fits nice and tight but not so as too strangle her, also snipped a bit off and cut a nice point on it so all is good
