Ideation 8,217 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Sounds like you had a good day, and it's always nice to be out. Thing with not using a collar at this time of year, is it's easy to lose a ferret that comes up under cover and goes for a wander. Also anything you bolt and miss holes, is gonna be harder to bolt next time. Apart from that, it's just the digging and the cover that's an issue. But if needs must and your enjoying it, crack on.
