hi all my ferrets have now been out 2 times and have both worked well on the first 1 though on the 2nd outing stayed in the mouth of the hole when she came out she dashed away resulting in us grabbing her to stop her escaping causing her to spray any help ? how to stop this

[stubby 175]

yeah, dont grab her

 

to you, she's ferreting, to her, she's having fun, but its only your second outing, dont be in a rush, relax,

if they are this years kitts, your not going to see its full potential until next season, so just let them find there feet so to speak

Yes what stubby said is spot on we added 2 kitts to our team last year and we gave them a little try at the end of last season although they had a look down the holes they also did exaxctly what you explained playing around in the hole entrance and dancing around etc this year one we put them down with experienced jills and in one burrie alone they bolted 5 rabbits between them they now know what the game is about DONT ever grab at them let them come out in there own time if you have a dead rabbit you can use this by wiggling it infront of them and let them rag it a bit it will take a bit of time but they will come good

good luck mate

If you grab them they will end up skulking. And to make her 'spray' you must have grabbed her VERY hard.

Get her in and out of a pipe in your garden pick her up put her down get her used to the noise ect . That should cut down her excitment a bit
