Ferret mad Dave 65 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Is she not 10 weeks old ???????? Quote Link to post
Plong 21 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) Did the Jill have any rabbit fur stuck on her feet? sounds like a young jill that may not have started working yet, my mate had one that would bolt rabbits but never killed one first few times out. Some rabbits will just bolt if they see a ferret where as others will get in a stop end or just run around the burrows, if the ferret does not work them you won't shift them. Don't stand where the rabbits can see you or they will stay below ground. Also save the gutting until you have finished or you will get the smell on your nets which can also affect rabbits bolting.
