big seamus 0 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 hi folks.just wondering if any one has ever used a ferret harnes with the locator attached to it.using a locator for the first time and it seems you need the collar realy tight to get it to stay on .any ideas?.thanks Quote Link to post
Rhodey 96 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 You must think it's really tight when it's not or it won't come off. I had to make a hole in the collar for my jills as the standard holes don't go small enough. Quote Link to post

saintsman54 15 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 do the collar up really tight on their chest rather than the neck, dont want to lose £60 quid down a hole 1 Quote Link to post
big seamus 0 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 tried putting an extra hole in it to get as much as i could but got caught in the net then she backed down the hole and it came off.thanks for the help though folks Quote Link to post
lawrence 657 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 if its coming of your not putting it on tight enough, stick a load more holes in the collar, slide the receiver down a bit more. don't like the sound of the chest advice, i would forget that. Quote Link to post
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 As Lawrence said... Jus use a small screwie, like the ones for specs, and make a hole in between every hole. I would avoid the harness route as I think it would catch up more than the collar would. I rather walk away from a dig with me ferret, than dig to a dead hung up ferret, whos to say you would make the dig for the collar any way, at least you got your best worker back.....

Thats what I did to the Mark3m collar, and it fits my jill fine, just heat a nail up on a gas ring and make extra holes, make sure its really tight when putting it on, and dont put it on the chest, if you dont want a long bit of the collar protruding get a spare leather collar and make your holes, then cut it to size.

rob190364 2,594 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 can't believe anyone would send a ferret down a hole with a harness on to be honest! Quote Link to post
patterdalejoel 669 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 can't believe anyone would send a ferret down a hole with a harness on to be honest! why? if theres no line or rope on the collar whats wrong? Quote Link to post
FightTheBan 1,147 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 If you can get your finger through it...it can come off. Or in Robs case his knob. FTB Quote Link to post
stroller 341 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 i hate putting them on as i always think im strangling them but once they are on it all goes to plan 1 Quote Link to post

If your ferret is one of those that keeps trying to get its collar off, buy a normal collar and leave that one it when it's in the hutch, it'll get used to having a collar on then and when you swap to the locator collar when taking them out it'll be used to the feeling of having a collar on so won't be so obsessed with trying to get it off Quote Link to post
