Monkey Boy 0 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Dont know about you lads but it took me over a year to get used to the MK3, Ive been using it now for around 3 yrs and still make the mistake of fogetting to switch over from search to locate, very dis heartening when you think you only got to dig 1 foot then realise that when youve dug about 2 foot that you have forgotten to switch it over lol Quote Link to post

Gramas 0 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Are the new mk3 collars compatible with the old mk3 boxes or you need the new box to turn them on & off? Quote Link to post
dh90 6 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Are the new mk3 collars compatible with the old mk3 boxes or you need the new box to turn them on & off? yeah the new collars work fine with the old boxes, old box switches it on and off Quote Link to post
billbroon 9 Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Well got my mk3m today, it seems pretty simple to use. Got a lay up under my 2 seater in the living room, was only down 2foot so was an easy dig lol. Just had the collars on the ferrets, a bit of a struggle to get it on there necks but after a roll about for 5mins trying to shake it of they were fine and started playing about, suppose a will just have to repeat every night. has anyone got any tips on getting them used to it or does it just take time.THANKS atb billy Quote Link to post

I only to go in shed with a collar or ferret box and the place erupts with faces saying "me, me please" From being young I also click my fingers when I want them to come to me, when they do I pick them up and give them a good stroke and play, 95% pf the time they will come out of the burrows to the click of fingers.
