atomo 19 Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Ino colour doesnt matter in ferrets when i comes to working , but i am intrested in what colour you best worker was as mine is a polecat jill can never knock her ,if nothing is home she refuses to go down ( weve tested alot of times ) and if they are home but just ont budge she will find them but never kill ,so what colour is your best work ? and why are they your best worker ? atomo You say "if they [rabbits] are home but just won't budge she will find them but never kill them". So what does she do sit gaurding the rabbit untill you dig down to her. No she scratches at them while shes down and then hangs around for a while until she comes out with fur on her claws by then we no there down but not budging If your ferret was a lurcher it would be known as a jacker. Basically what your saying is when the going gets tough she can't hack it and comes back out yet you say she is your best worker. but she not a lurcher mate so she not a jacker , she does that job i want her to do, my big poley hob if i wanted them killed goes down atfer her if i just wanted it to kill all the time it would get annoying because the permission we have has got deep warrens like 8 to i think the deepest is 12 ft so i dont feel like digging so she is a good worker for me and my needs were i ferret but i do have other ferrets that work different so cover all needs Quote Link to post

Leeview 791 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Albino hob not over big but knew the job would nt go in unless it held follow him on the locator and if he lingered for a minute I'd mark the spot if a rabbit bolted he'd be behind it,if he turned and went back there was another for sure if he came out the place was empty and we dug the shallow marks to retrieve the rabbits before moving on Y.I.S Leeview Quote Link to post
