All of the above and a dog to catch the rabbit which bolts from the one hole i've missed. P.S. Don't feed ferrets cows milk it is not good for them, try kitten milk instead

Ive got dogs for catching them and marking the holes so im fine anyway

Just about sums it up :11: Oh and a packet of French letters, with all the stables around, may get lucky.

I give goats milk, seems to work Ok.

 

So far iv got 40 nets, ferret box, my famouse spade and have just orderd a Deben MK 3 locator, with 2 collars. Hope the bloody thing works.

 

As the season progresses, im sure more purse nets will get added to the collection.

Im gonna get a long net at some stage too.

I think any decent ferreter has all the kit you mentioned rabbit , with either a dog or shottie to mop the ones that slip the nets
