DiStuRBeD 0 Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 i put mine down a warren at 17 weeks old, she didnt work it but in the last month she started hunting, that would be about 5 months of age i guess one thing i found was letting her eat some rabbit with the fur attached seemed to make her switch on a bit.

sash 2 Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 mine was about 6 months, but i thought i spoiled it, coz it didnt bolt any for 2 months and i thought it might of got a good kick the first time it went down. but then again there may not of been anything down the holes. after the 2 months of not bolting, it turned out to be quality. bolts and digs plenty. either 2 or 3 backed up, when we dig now.
