The one 8,481 Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Ive had three seven foot digs to get my ferrets out ,But last week they where sitting at 8 foot then going off the dial so i choose to sit that one out Quote Link to post
kill um with crisps 7 Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) Iv never dug to a ferret neither. Iv had um lay up a few times but iv waited for um. Occaisionally iv had to block up all the holes and come back next day or block up all holes bar one and leave a cage trap there for the ferret. Also, you can often get um to shift by banging on the ground by the hole or jangling keys. Edited April 2, 2010 by kill um with crisps Quote Link to post

lamping rabbit 11 Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 6ft is the deepest ive had to dig i loved it lol.... Quote Link to post
wullieh 53 Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 The normal digs are between 2/3 ft but did have to dig down to 6ft last yr, not for to get a ferret but to get the new mkt 3 collar my mate had not put on right, by luck it was an easy dig as was sand enen though it ment holding my mate by the anckles while he was head down in the hole. (double check collars are fitted correctly after this) Quote Link to post
longnetter 32 Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 I suppose about 5/6 feet and that's plenty and thankfully not very often ATB Quote Link to post
Brimmer 220 Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Jesus i usually end up with a 4-5 foot every time i go out, sounds like you guys are getting it easy! Nothing really deep, but masses of earth moved. Everytime i'm out i get one or two! Quote Link to post
