when do you start working a young ferret?

[sikastag_1 689]

think there will be a few mixed opinions obviously as their always is, was just wondering at what age does everyone start bringing on a young ferret, i always have older ferrets so never in a rush to bring young 1s on.

I started my jill last year, as soon as it got colder. We had a pair out of the first bury! Didn't have anything else all day though!

Started my 2 jills when they were about 6 months old last year,put the collars on them,put them in a few in & out sets with the nets on for a few sessions.Then took them up to the permmision end of September & they were right in the thick off it & done the biz no probs

always start mine as young as, just on little run threws 3 holers and an od 5 holler with an adult until they have the odd ones bolting but i always depend on my older stock but bringing young on is essential
