Raymond 618 Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 I was going to wait a little longer to get back out with the ferrets. The last time out there was still small babies. This little nut got me to bring him out for a couple of hours with his ferret. We got 2 young and missed the adult. The first rabbit hit the net, as it closed the adult rabbit came right behind. I had to dig down for the second rabbit we caught.It was very hot aswell so we didnt stay out too long. Last but not least, the little lad with his first ferret. He has him 3 years now.

danman 27 Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 you need to teach him how to hold a ferret Quote Link to post
Raymond 618 Posted October 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 you need to teach him how to hold a ferret I can see it might not look to good but thanks to this fellas rough handling you could pick the ferret up by the ear or the leg and it wouldnt bother it. The young lad is nuts he is very rough.He is great at training the pups and terriers. He pulls out of them from all parts. Gets the dogs used to being grabbed, after this fella is finished the dogs are used to being pulled out from any body part. Handy if your in a tight spot in a ditch or hole and alls you can grab is a leg or a tail. Ferret wont bite you or the dogs. Quote Link to post

stealthy1 3,964 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I think your lad has grown a couple of inchs since last season Raymond Quote Link to post
Raymond 618 Posted October 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I think your lad has grown a couple of inchs since last season Raymond He certainly has. He started primary school last month. The fella is nuts. Theres no fear in him at all. He will nearly grab anything. He loves the animals and the fields. He cried last year when some of his fields where getting built on. He hated builders for a while. Yes there all his fields. My other kids get out aswell, but at 10,12,14 and 17 there are other distractions. I will still get them all out a good few times over the season weather they like it or not. Its something they can always come back to or get mad into in the futher. I think this fella might stick it out more than the others. The 2 of us are having deep fried grazers for our tea tonight.Love those young bunnies they taste lovely. Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Good to see the young lad out and getting stuck in! But like has been said, teach him to handle the ferrets properly, whilst it might be good training for them in many senses, it's probably causing unnecessary discomfort. Respect for your workers is a good lesson to learn Quote Link to post
