Baretta28 78 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Hello lads was out for a days ferreting today with the brother Started of pretty slow as the day progressed it got no better. We had to wrap up early was ferreting quite a well established Warren. When the young started bolting in and out. Has any one else had any young yet. Seasons seem to be getting shorter and shorter as the years pass Quote Link to post
ferret110 27 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 We need more Rabbits mate its good they are breeding they are scarce round my way Quote Link to post
Baretta28 78 Posted January 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 I agree with the rabbit numbers aren’t as great as what they use to be and we do need them to breed. but just abit gutting season is coming to a end sooner than I wanted Quote Link to post
Bobtheferret 1,223 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 I was getting pregnant does (early stages) just after Christmas but last few weeks I haven’t had any pregnant ones. I think they have been absorbing them as the weather has got cold, I catch one today though that was very very milky so must have been nursing young but haven’t bolted any babies yet. I was bolting youngsters in November still though which I think is very late. Quote Link to post
