    hello pal i once seen a rabbit go into a hole in the ground under this shed so i netted up and put the ferret in and stood back and waited instead of bumping coming from the ground it was coming from the roof i was amazed by this but when i went into the shed it was stacked full of rolls of chicken wire and both ferret and rabbit were on the top of it all. there was also a church that had 4 broken vents on it and rabbits used to use it alot only thing was they went under the floor boards and one day i made the mistake of putting the ferret in when the sunday service was on i was only young at
