ZeusPolecat 185 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 The above ground filming wasn't the best in this one but as the underground was interesting I thought it was worth making a video out of. Shame it wasn't easier to purse net! I went back with the hob the weekend after but the rabbit wasn't home 18 Quote Link to post

1Wally 204 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 I love that, it's really interesting to see whats happening down there when rabbits are hole hopping. Not what I expected to see. Great video mate! Atb, Wally Quote Link to post
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 How unlucky was that first rabbit. Got him though. Fair play. 1 Quote Link to post

Guest vin Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Thanks for sharing this very interesting bit of footage. I think you need a good Hob mate. I can see now why some of the rabbits I pull out are destroyed on the forehead...my hobs kills them when they present themselves like that,It looks as though they have been hit by a hammer in between the eyes. I have a little Gill that works like them 2 of yours...it can bolt them all day long if they want to bolt,But when push comes to shove,She lacks the power to bully them out of the holes..Don't get me wrong she locks on when she can,But cannot hold it in place without the bunny moving,especially when you get the spade above the bunny...Drives me mad...lol. What camera do you use for the underground footage ? Quote Link to post
ZeusPolecat 185 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 are they green /young ferrets good filming Enyo's young, she's not the best worker really, gives up too easily, but if I can't dig or if its late in the day ill use her so were not stuck waiting/digging. Athena's the one chasing it about and is a bit older, I was surprised to see her being so cautious because above ground she seems savage but a kick to the face would do that!

What camera do you use for the underground footage ? I've got a hob (Athena's litter mate) actually took him back to the same warren yesterday to try and film the differences between the two sexes but the rabbit wasn't home. My hob pins them/kills in often and I can't always dig so the jills get the most work. I think as the rabbit had space to get around in that chamber it maybe had an advantage, might have been different in a narrow hole. Have a few cameras, I try to use a GoPro if there's space, otherwise I use 'bullet cameras', ones called sports DV I think but batteries not great and the other doesn't have a name, cheap china make I think. 1 Quote Link to post

A slightly less keen ferret can be useful on areas you cant dig, I have an old landfill site I do and digging is near impossible. Brilliant video btw.

ZeusPolecat 185 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 another great footage there keep it coming. Have you thought about doing a dvd? Thanks. Don't know if its up to standard yet, would certainly need commentary. Perhaps more experience too. Quote Link to post
Glyn287 9 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 That's a really interesting video, never knew ferrets had to be so vicious to get the rabbits out. Quote Link to post
