fergie 0 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Hi everyone well went out ferreing day 1st burrow nothing much at home just the one rabbit second burrow put my jill down nothing for ages then one bolts so we think she is still working any way after abot 45 minutes of nothing i try to find her with the mk1 and all i find is the collar so i wait and wait then think sod it i will put my hob down with a collar on thinking when he finds her eating he will push her off or i can locate him and her well he stops moving for about 10 minutes so i think this is it and i start digging he the pops his head up out another hole so again i put him bsck down and again in the same area he stops thats it im digging after awhile i reach the hole and put my arm in and feel a rabbit pull it out its dead but not chewed put my arm back in pull another out and then another both these to where alive and i put my arm back in and its a dead end. So i try the same trick again but he is just going in one hole out another after abot 4 hours of her being down there with no sign i call it aday fill all the holes in but the one i put her down and leave a box there with a few rabbit kidneys, water & some hay in it when back about 3 hrs later still no sign put a little more food in there am going to go back tomorrow straigt after work what do you think the chances are of me getting her back????????????????????? oh end result was 1 lost ferret (my best) and 5 rabbits whent for a walk Quote Link to post
