Are you for real? You know how many holes there are by counting them and they are usually found in the ground, along hedges, ditches, bits of woodland, general cover.

 

Good luck 'bunny slayer'.

Sorry mate but hes right, it dont have to be a small set it just abit easyer for the you and ferrets.

If you cant find a little set obviously a slightly bigger one will have to do there shouldnt be any problems if you ferrets are big and hard enough and have collars on run them through pipes and tubes to keep them fit and get them abit used to going under ground .

i mean how far apart will the holes be at a max , ive seen holes when ive been out but some are a hole every meter and some are far apart as for the sarcastic 'rabbit killer' i go out with a rifle at the min and im a pot shot lol

Depending on the size of the warren. If its a small 2/3 holer i would expect the holes to be found within a couple meter square area, but then again you do sometimes get a hole which is a good few meters off in the middle of the field - a bolt hole. Different land will produce different types of tunnel system. If your worried your best bet is to find a few holes where there are no other sets near and then have a look around and net ANY hole you find within a fairly large distance to be sure. We often have patches where there are probably 5/6 seperate sets, but you cant tell whats what, so we just net EVERYTHING and then start at one side and move across.
