Ferretting

[J The Hunter 1]

Hi,

I used to ferret yrs ago and started back a few months ago. I have always bought working ferrets,I recently bought 2 ferrets one is 2yrs old and the other is 4mths old. I am trying to get the younger one to start working, I have no problem with her going to ground as I put her in with the older one all the time. On some occasions the older has held rabbits under ground but the younger one will always come out before I start digging as she is not showing much interest in the rabbits. Is there anything that I can do to bring her on hunting wise, and if I am doing something wrong your comments would be most appreciated. Or any advise on bringing her on would be greatly accepted.

 

Thanks
