its not the quantity its the quality of his workers. two good ferrets is better them 6 crap ones

 

It is also about quantity if you want to do big setts,20 holes+ you will deffo need more then two ferrets or you will not get many rabbits bolting yes some will bolt but not all.

Dont need many ferrets to have an enjoyable days ferreting, not everyone is out to kill thousands. Only last season a lad put up a post, 30 rabbits with one hob! Although it is very nice being able to do those massive warrens that can take all morning and result in a very gud bag and they only really happen with a sack full of stinkers

Aye but six good ferrets are better than two good ferrets.

i picked up 2 new recruits the other day, 1 is a VERY handsome big (but not too big) sandy hob, the other is a scrawny little albino, both have nice temperaments + bolted 5 rabbits, 3 into the nets 1 to the dog + 1 came out of a hole id missed + got away. had the choice of quite a few albinos but picked this one at random because my first choice was a little too nippy + impatient with being handled. this one will do me fine though.
