Edgar 1 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Read up on ferreting and talk to people who go ferrteting to find out what they do. A good book to get you started that explains keeping and working ferrets is "The ferret and ferreting guide" by Graham Welstead. Quote Link to post
