dont get rid give them a chance i got a polecat hob 6 years ago and he was a load of rubbish i thought the same way as you but kept trying him get some easy warrens maybe 6 holers and keep trying them i have still got my polecat he will be 7 years old soon and the best ferret i have ever owned and going back to what you said about your ferret not touching the rabbit thats good when its underground you dont want it to kill the rabbit just to bolt it so patience is all you need ok cheers DM

dont be too quick to judge her, my first two ferrets, where from a ferreter that passed them on, one of them became my best worker, and comes out on evey trip, so be patient

I took out my hob last weekend. hes young and just wants to play with the dead coneys. but he seemed to work okish and bolted a couple to the gun pretty quick all on his own.

Shoot it and get another........may just as well feed a goodun as a badun

Once I was given a castrated hob from women down the street, ex childs indoor pet, stunk of Johnsons Baby Powder, slung it in hutch and forgot about it for a couple of months until all my jill were ready to drop kits, thought I would give him a chance. First couple of outings he was an imbarisment, but when he realised what the game was he came good, now he smells like all my other fezzers. Patients

Give it a bit of time like most of the fellow's have said, but if in time it isn't going to get stuck in, then as the season goes on it isn't going to clear the warren, (Rabbits get harder to shift as they get older).

In the dales, we've found the strong hob the key, not even netting up sometimes! It will kill at will, with nothing escaping but the best. (this is where a strong shovell takes over, usually only 18" down anyway!) And will not leave untill everything is gone.

Sounds daft i know, but why take 20 mins putting nets down in the wind and rain, when a couple of bunnies can be taken within 5 mins flat from a 12 holer.
