Ferret problem

[chrisnick 1]

Hi one of my best jills that's about 4 years old who has always been a cracking worker has recently started running back down holes when trying to retrieve her or refuses to come out never had this problem in all the time I have had her ( from kit) does anyone know what the problem is or come across this before

 

 

Many thanks chris

[chrisnick 1]

No frights that I know of first time thought she'd killed and was going back to it but she seems to be doing it every time o put her down

Socks seems to have it, ive had jills behave like this when they are in season

[chrisnick 1]

Don't think that it as she started acting this way beginning of December

There's still something in there feller.

Strange one

 

Snatching the ferret up can bring it on

 

Also lack of rabbits in the burys can sometimes make them play up

 

Just a couple of things i have come across before

 

Hope it helps

Cheers chris

One of my older jills started that and screaming f*ck know what was wrong with her but when you could pick her up i stroked her for five minutes each time and with in a fortnight she was back to normal

My two have started doing the exact same thing. I feret with out a dog so have too run them throgh a lot of empty holes. In the occupied ones once in hunting mode they are not a problem. But very frustrating too spend half an hour on an emtpy two holer trying to get the ferret out.

I handle them loads and gently too
