Tyla 3,179 Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Took out our two new jills for the first time today, it was also our first time on the new permission and the first time the pup has been ferreting. Although it was early in the season so alot of the buries were choked up with bramblw and crap. As the ferrets are new we tried to pick small open buries when we could although still got stung and scratched to sh*t. They worked their hearts out all day and, although we blanked on two buries where we could hear the bunnies inside (i think they were giving our girls the run around) i was well pleased. They bolted 5 rabbits, we netted 4 but let one go as had obviously been mxy but recovered (i always do it, i've heard they can pass on immunity to their descendents - not sure if its true) the other was missed by the pup but only just. Overall a nice day, cant wait for the next one!!! Quote Link to post

gaz 284 Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 How can you tell a rabbit has recovered from Mixy, just so i know what to look for MOLL. Old scars about the eyes from being previously infected by the myxy....not the odd bramble scratch mind,but a fair bit of scarring Quote Link to post
