lost ferret

[stroller 341]

gutted today for the first time of 30 years of ferreting i lost a ferret, my old silver jill in a not even massive hedge row set!! i have no idea what the hell happened. she had killed in earlier but had come out of that set fine after a few minutes.

 

i have a feeling she is backed in behind a rabbit or she has died down there possibly suffocated she was a bloody good worker and even though she did kill in the longest ive had to wait on her is 15 mins.

 

I dont use collars etc but i will buy a set now its the not knowing that bothers me most if she has died for whatever reason thats sad but to think she is stuck somewhere sickens me.

 

To top it off i had promised a young lad on here a young ferret which i was dropping off on my way home from todays session. i was working on the principle that 3 ferrets was enough so my 4th a young jill was superfluous. obviously now i cant give the kid it so i feel pretty shit about that i hate letting people down.

 

The one saving grace is that the lads who owns the ground will keep an eye out for her and box her up if he sees her and as that set was next to his stable block she might just be found.

 

i suppose i have learned a lesson although its just a ferret i do get attached to them

it is gutting loosing a good working ferret. Did you block in the holes if it wasn't a big set? As you could try again this evening or tomorrow..

Nobody local to you who has a locator set???? She is probably backed up with a few in a stop end.

If i had been driving.....i would of come up with one of mine and dropped it in to help locate yours.

Hope you get her back.....GOOD Ferrets are worth there own weight in Gold

Bit harsh as he stated only his first ferret he has lost in 30years.

sorry to hear that fella my guess would be shes blocked in try and get some one with a collared ferret and see if you can locate her if not i would trench it

Well if it had of been one of mine, it would of had a collar on OK occassionally they do stop transmitting but I would of still been waiting at 1:52 before blocking the warren off leaving some bedding from the box or something with my scent on for her to settle down on for the night and of been back first thing in the morning

Good idea on getting a box. More and more people being converted but sad it takes something like this to make them get a box (not a dig at yourself)
