Seabourne 0 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Hi everyone I've recently aquired three Polecats two fairly small ones and one larger one. I'm told they're around three months old. i was hoping to work them this winter. I have no experience in this field what so ever. So any tips on how to train them or what I should be doing to encourage them to hunt would be a massive help. Quote Link to post
gav1212 16 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 If at all possible try and meet up with someone to go along with, they will have the instinct in them but its a good idea if they're shown but one already working. If not then aslong as you have nets, carry box and permission just give it ago by yourself. Bring a spade also. When the first rabbit is out and in the net they will soon pick it up them selves.

Seabourne 0 Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Thanks for that. I've also heard a lot about what i should be feeding them, at the moment I've got them on a ferret food. should I be giving them raw rabbit to? Quote Link to post
