Well mate as you said you could only pick one up!!! so has she got out of the set some how with out you seeing ?

Or dose the set go deeper than 16 ft??

You have a good chance of getting her back if she has not f****d off!!

[stubby 175]

hope you get her back, as not only have you lost a fert, but a collar too,

another good reason to start ferreting in the morning, so if anything like this happens, you have more daylight/searching time

Checking with a lamp a good shout as if they come out they seem to do a fair bit of wandering in the dark

yeah she had traveld a fair bit from the set she went down,it was a good call going out with the lamp as she got on the other side of a wall and don't think i'd of got her back with the trap.
