Hi there im new to the website and just started ferreting. I have been out twice with my mate using his ferret, but this sunday i am gonna try it on my own with my ferret. its the first time the ferret has worked but i have trained it for 1 hour each night in a drain pipe for the last 3 weeks . Are there any tips or anything i should be aware of when i go. Hope someone could help.

Cheers

Stick to small burrows till you and the fred are confident .Don't panic if it takes its time underground an d be gentle with it when it emerges so that it does'ntget nervous about coming to hand . Hope this helps and good luck.

Feed it a few hours before you head out then let it have a couple of hours sleep.

Pack up long before darkness, nowt worse than a deep lay up when its getting dark.

Be very quiet around the holes (if your netting).

Good luck , dont worry if you dont catch much at first and dont panic if the ferret takes its time it knows more than you do about this game

Just take it nice and slow so you dont spook your ferret on its first time out
