I know of someone recommending buying an ordinary spade and grind the corners off so its more pointed and easier to dig.

If its a big warren I use the trenching bucket, and dig a trench around it, if its small I would just go for a small dyking bucket after locating the ferret But most of the time I use a medium sized spade from Wilko's, it has a longer handle than a shovel, and I find it cuts through roots better
