How Old Should A Ferret Be To Start Working On Small Warrens Ect.


Recommended Posts


Everybody is different mate, most will say 6 months, but i like to let them be kits, so mine tend to miss a season then i start them the season after, unless i have a big sett that needs a decent amount of ferrets. Obviously if you just have young ferrets i would say 6/7 months should be ok. The most important thing is too take your time and be patient, don't expect them too be bolting rabbits straight away. All the best mate

Get them out in pipes in the garden with collars on ,then the first time at a burrows no so much a shock for them and they wont spend half the time sniffing and scratching at the mouth of a burrow .Then its up to you if you put them down themselves or with a older ferret

yep train them with the pipes ect, and crawl through different objects, then take them out with the older ferrets 5-6 months on and let them have do a little set, maybe with a trusted ferret, then see how they get on after a few trips out, by the 8-9 month mark depending on how much your taking them out they should of come on quite well :thumbs: different people do it different ways, but thats how iv done it, atb foxtails
