yeah tiercel that would make more sense to break it down,i never thought of that,thanks,would you say 6z net would be adequate,i can get loads of hazel poles round my way,so would it just be the net and cord i would be looking for?oh i have just ordered LONGNETTING FROM PEG TO PEG.ATB

can you be more precise in the info you are looking for ? foods, handling them, anything really thanks as for food i feed mine chicken,rabbit meat from the rabbits i catch,rabbits liver,raw egg weekly,mince meat,the list goes on,try to handle them every day or every 2nd day so that they get used to being handled and clean bedding once a week,fresh water daily and clean out living area daily,exercise and make sure that their health is good.you should google to find out more before you keep ferrets.hope this helps.atb

Are you using a quick set or traditional net?? i am a beginner and only looking to purchase a long net for the start of next season what would be easier and cheaper for me, i like the look of the traditional set up though,would 2 100yrd nets be to much for me to begin with,the burrows i would be ferreting are along ditches and there is way to many holes for purse nets 40-50 holes either side most of them in thorn bushes.atb

done the same today,was ferretin in a field ,seen 3 warrens with about 6-10 holes each in neighbouring field,heard farmer making noise in his shed and decided to call over and ask for permision to go on his land,he was more than welcome as he said the rabbits were becoming a bit of a pest,got 3 from 1st,4 from 2nd and another 4 from the 3rd and he said i can call back anytime no problem,

sorry if this is a silly question,but here goes,there are a few vids on youtube showing how to set a long net but nothing on packing it away,do you just do the opposite,pole then pull net into bag or is there a way to do it to stop net tangling up when setting it again,im confused,i have never done it before and iam wanting to get into it next season.thanks atb

just buy a small collar mate,then pop rivet the remaining part of the original collar to it,jobs a good en you mean these things only last as long as the collar? no i dont mean that you plum lol,well why can't i replace old with new,surely i must be able to take off all of old collar and put on new.im not saying that the pop rivet is a bad idea,its quite a good idea, but i would have liked to put on new collar ,this is my first finder so i have never had this problem before. welcome to the real world mate ha ha ,yeah i know,pop rivet it is then,thanks,atb

i have 2 polecat hobs who were doing the same,wanting to mess about and not really interested on whats down below,that was 2 months ago and since then i have had them out 4 times had a few bunnies but nothing great,but had them out yesterday and between them they bolted 5 with 3 coming to the net,not to bad for 9 mth old ferts.the point is if you keep taking them out and stick with them it should come to them,you will see a different fert in her second year.hope this helps.atb

get reading is all i can say i bred 2 litters of furts last year and it took me to just before xmas to get them to good homes think twice about it as they are a lot of work after mummy ferret stops feeding and cleaning the mess up that said go for it and enjoy she will come in heat any time from early spring on wards they will look after them selfs pretty much just dont handle or disturb the young for the first 2 weeks or sometimes mum will kill them not always but the can sometimes get a book on ferrets or read up on the net there plenty info to be had also have a look here http:/
