Different Ferrets Work Different?
Andrew Beirne replied to Dranny GLC's topic in Ferrets & Ferreting
I like to put my hob a nd jll down a the same time obviously give the jill a few minutes then him it works and she will always be much faster than him ..it was last week i was digging down to my hob and i got a mark of 4 on his and 2 on hers thought a shes only going back through it but turned out she had one dead in a stop end and another backed up and he then had one dead in a tube ...but i do find hobs more thorough and will stick at the bunnys till they move or they kill em -
I would imagine they would be a little less likely to get into the tight places
-
i think a Hound in general would mainly bring voice and size..Ive seen a foxhound cross springer before but he was only a pet
-
exactly why not would they work well together I don't know never tried it I'm sure.someone has my.grandfather wud .swear by a spaniel for an job anywhere any cover and still would but he does acknowledge a good terrier but still wudnt have never bought one I guess ever hunter is different
-
or one of each.......

Id say most dogs will try go to ground I have seen a fox hound from the localpack try go in in pursuit of his qurry while the rest of them stood with there heads fixated at the entrance making that lovely music needless to say he didnt get in too far and was removed and he soon got his prize after it bolted
-
Hunting mink is great fun with two mad jack russels and keeps em fit and ticking over
-
I believe a terrier will suit some hunters and a spaniel suit others ..but for the sake of it why not just get a terrier X spaniel
-
Well said
-
my two will only enter if there is scent od if there is a good rabbit bury inside or maybe even a charlie I think this comes down to experience
-
sorry to hear that made always a balls when ya loose a good grafter
-
Happens us regularly just have to get on with it
-
Id go with one that suits you mate but some of the chicken runs on ebay look very good if you put them on a concrete base the_stig's first photo looks like ferret heaven
-
I would take them to a neutral place e.g the garden introduce them there then if that goes ok put em in the hutch and keep an eye on them
-
There must be a reason there not there and maybe they will come back but all you can do is hope for a good year for them to breed
-
I would giveem a few seasons good graft firstbut if you are stuck I would bring in a proven working hob
-
We have land very the same and in a certain area there is a few holes right on the edge of the tarmac net them all and nobody has ever queried us and its our third year doing it
-
what I do is when they bite shove ur finger back into the mouth and it works for me after a few times they stop
-
Sounds like you have a nice bit of permission there
-
Twats I dont know why they rob them when there will be so many spare kits in 6/7 months time
-
Lovely looking ferrets mate cant wait to get out with my two kits from this year I just think there still a bit small

Looking For Kit, From Working Background!

Id definitely get two probably two jills as it would mean less digging and no separating them when there in season -

oh there is runts alright that's how the falconers get there micros I still have a picture of her and she's tiny and she is 6 months she's an absolute character but what she lacks in size she makes up for in bossiness she is definitely the boss out of my four
-
to be honest I wouldnt imagine they would cover a working ferret
