hi, going to work my new ferret tomorrow, its a polecat jill which has been kept as a pet all its life of two years lol. just wondering do you think it will work straight away or take some time? it goes mad at like pigeons and stuff like that which have been shot dead but shes not seen a rabbit yet :/ any advice appreciated thanks

Just like my hob roughly 2 years old never been worked he was given to me i put him down a hole he goes so far in then turns around and runs at the nets attacks them and gets himself tangled but i will find a small warren and give both of my ferrets a go in it, Might have to run them with my young jill she will show them she's a fantastic worker and only 14 weeks old.

There's a big diference between working and bolting the odd rabit from the odd warren , I'm not puting you down mate but there's to many pish ferrets about , it may turn out to be a world beater it may not ,

Might take to it like a duck to water and might not mate ,your going to find out today let us know how it went

cheers for the advice fellas, worked her in 6 warrens today but she kept on catching them below ground so had about 4 digs and she bolted about 2 or 3. good job she kind of knows what to do though, bit more practice and she could be good at it

See thats fascinating dont you think, aged two, never seen a rabbit before and not only goes down but tangles with the bunnys and kills them/bottles them up. Ferrets are great
