Blackbriar 8,569 Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 In a nutshel..... Handle them regularly and teach them bite inhibition. Once that's done, get yourself a locator collar and get them used to wearing it, so they don't wriggle out of it. Take them somewhere where you have permission, put them down a hole and see what happens. And don't forget to take a good shovel, just in case ! Good luck ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Furrosious ferreter 499 Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Welcome buddy, Im new to ferreting too, all i can say is this is a brilliant forum with nice people to offer advice and there services, Enjoy your ferrets they are wonderful creatures. If biting is a problem i found a good scuff and drag along the carpet for about a foot is good training, its supposed to mimic the mums behavior. It worked on mine in 3 weeks And if you dont have a collar and locator, you dont need a shovel. Theres some great posts in the ferret forum. FF 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
