keep small ferrets then you dont have to dig lol

ferret we use here aint much bigger than your average kit , wouldnt be able to stop a determined rabbit.

she as been worked for about 8yrs now and never had to be dug to (touchwood)

I must be a lucky man, 4ft is the deepest that I have had to dig.

Ive had three seven foot digs to get my ferrets out ,But last week they where sitting at 8 foot then going off the dial so i choose to sit that one out

Iv never dug to a ferret neither. Iv had um lay up a few times but iv waited for um. Occaisionally iv had to block up all the holes and come back next day or block up all holes bar one and leave a cage trap there for the ferret. Also, you can often get um to shift by banging on the ground by the hole or jangling keys.

When you start to dig they normally move but i wouldn't want to dig more than 3ft on the heavy clay we have round here

[lamping rabbit 11]

6ft is the deepest ive had to dig i loved it lol....

[wullieh 53]

The normal digs are between 2/3 ft but did have to dig down to 6ft last yr, not for to get a ferret but to get the new mkt 3 collar my mate had not put on right, by luck it was an easy dig as was sand enen though it ment holding my mate by the anckles while he was head down in the hole.

(double check collars are fitted correctly after this)

I suppose about 5/6 feet and that's plenty and thankfully not very often

Jesus i usually end up with a 4-5 foot every time i go out, sounds like you guys are getting it easy!

 

 

Nothing really deep, but masses of earth moved. Everytime i'm out i get one or two!
