Joe67 239 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 would need a few albinos lol,ferreting in the dark would be a mission.nice dog in picture Quote Link to post
rob190364 2,594 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Accidently did some today!! lost my hob in a warren on a large bank half an hour before dark, in the end I found out that he'd come out of the warren under the brambles and then gone all the way along and out a good 15 - 20 meters away from where I entered him. Finder wasn't picking anything up so I assumed the battery had died but it picked him up when I walked round looking for him. I was looking for him for an hour after dark before I found him, bloody good job I had a torch in my bag! Albino and warrens out in the open definitely the way forward for night time ferreting!! Poley coloured ones in bramble patches most definitely isn't!!! Quote Link to post
paulus 26 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 attach one of them starlight glow in the dark thingys to its collar easyer to find the ferret Quote Link to post
reddawn 2,173 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 when i say ferreting at night, i do mean later on when the moon is full an high in the sky, your eyes soon adjust, but i do agree, you wouldnt want to be doing big bramble beds Quote Link to post
DeepEarth 104 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Never done it myself, but for 'hot' places i'd imagine it would be worth a do. Quote Link to post
