I mean more the bond an retreive an stuff, like he does with mink, loads a 1 on 1 and see what results they get with a ferret

 

Yeah, I know a guy in Australia who trained a ferret to bring back its kill like I do with my mink.

Has anybody tried training ferret to do what ye mink does ?

I think he uses his mink underwater at times mate, some of the holes are submerged I think?

 

Not ferret territory....

 

 

Yeah, most muskrat hole entrances are completely submerged.

Was it trained using food as a reward when swapped like yours? Is there any videos of it hunting?? Just curious mate

 

 

Yes, he used his own variation of my training methods, and I've actually been trying out his new ideas on my mink. I know he has some videos of it in training, but I don't know if he has any of the actual hunting. He ran into a problem in hunting certain warrens, as his little hob had trouble dragging up a full sized rabbit out of the burrow system. I think he needed a bigger/more powerful hob, as the one he had was very small, smaller than my female mink if I remember right.
