working maturity

[jenksi87 3]

what age would you say a ferret reaches an age where they start to work properly. at the minute mine seem to do naff all except enter then head to the nearest hole to surface. no searching the sets, just seem to head to the next hole and out. can get quite frustrating at times as i am constantly re-setting my nets

you never said how old your ferret is i had one like that 4 years ago and it never turned out any good at all give it away as a pet but the young one she had are better than mine.

Are you sure there were any rabbits in the warren you entered your ferrets, because my ferrets walk straight threw if the warrens empty, the always work better in there second season, it takes one season to educate them to what they are supposed to do, I would keep them and work them one more season, and see how they go.

there the same on every set. my hob got entered 8 times once before he chased one out. i knew there was something home aswell as it flicked mud at me as it scarpered past when i was re-setting a net. would it be good for them to enter them in a set with one that already works?? theres a kid near me that has a 7month old jill that bolts them everytime. is it worth asking to lend her and work them together??

Your ferrets are old enough to be bolting rabbits by themselves ,id ask that other guy with the ferret to accompany you then try his after your's and see if a rabbit bolts then id be temted to get rid of your and get some kitts from working stock

Aye if you get a couple nice early kitts they should just be ready to go, treat them like kids nice and slow and dont trust then till there second season i know its a pain and can be slow but for the first season i like to run a experanced jill threw a burrow after ive tried the kitts and see if there going to make the grade

trouble is i wont have the experienced jill to use after them to check. so i guess i'm stumped unless i can drop on one sharpish
