Kits First Bolt

[DundeeLurcher 51]

After a long couple weeks i can finally say my albino hob is one the way to becoming a worker. I got one of my freinds to bring along one of his working ferrets along on day out wee found a set of maybe 12 holes netted them up and popped him down behind the older jill and off he went after maybe 20 minutes and 4 rabbits later they reapered and off we went and found a nice little 3 holler i netted it up and popped my kit down after a few seconds i got a large rabbit bolt into the net ive just started ferreting and was about to give up due to not making any progress untill i had a read on here stating to use a older ferret to learn younger one heres a picture the jill in the pic is next to try learn as shes the worst out the two her name should be peekaboo lol

I can still remember catching my first rabbit by myself unassisted so to speak with my first ferret( a kit i had brought up ) and i only had the one. Walk every where then a good two miles from home, but every step was easy and I felt ten feet tall. I new my father would be proud of me and it would put food on the table, there was no going back I was hooked for life. Congratulations you won't forget that day Have a good season.

i dont want to put a damper on your day but you hob might no be going deep enough to work a burrow in his first season so after hes worked a burrow you will do no harm dropping in a older ferret to see if hes left any , i always try to check on my kits for there first season to see if there clearing a burrow properly

Well done ?

If you dont have older ferrets to run the kits with just give them plenty of practice. They should be well able to clear a warren by the end of the season. Or at least find the rabbits and stick with them or kill them.
