Penda 3,367 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Went out the other night did to an old ash pit i havent done for years to do a spot of night ferreting me and me mates got there about 9ish as a we netted up about 15 holes or more dropped the ferrets in and waited with in a thew minutes i saw a net move and a small kit run out then an adult bolted then 2 more adults this is a very vast spread warren so i like to leave the ferrets in there for a good while til im absalutley happy theres nothing left in the warren plus these are last years ferrets. After i was happy there was nothing in there i took 1 ferret out while i was waitin for the other to cum out yet another kit bolted.I say they were about 5'6 weeks of age judging by the size just shows how mild it must of been around november december time and rabbits i think can breed all year round.
