i think if she had bolted one it is unlikely that it was a rat down there,i agree it could have been a well placed kick.How is she now?

[paddy polecat 129]

if she was bit It's prob been a rat, mink, or maybe a feral ferret but she could of been kicked hard by the rabbit, are you sure it's a bite mark on her chin?

hope she comes round,might be best to take her to the vet in morning if you can't get one today.

rabbits bite aswell as kick mate i know from experiance

[theferreter 311]

hope your ferret pulls through mate its probely been a mink or hard kick from a rabbit

[springer man 4]

just had another look at her it looks vrey much like a kick as she has some dried blood in one of her ears

[longnetter 32]

I'd say it was an unlucky kick if nothing but a rabbit bolted before you dug her out. Most creatures will take the flight rather than fight option even mink . Hope she recovers anyway .

Is there no mark on top of it's head if there dry blood in her ears she could of been chomped by a fox mate is it a puncture hole under her chin? her eyes bulging? i had one a long time ago dog marked i wasn't watchin the mark off the dog netted up dropped the ferret in five min's ferret staggered out with her eyes poppin out i lefted the net picked her up stood up dog shot down half hour later we had a fox out(all my fault not spotting the dog marking fox)

we have bolted rats quite a few times after having bolted rabbits first.mainly seemed to be when sets were on railway sides or along dikes and streams. makes you very wary of sticking your hand in.
