young man 225 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Dose anyone have any pics or videos of there ferrets ratting? Quote Link to post
Blainy88 25 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Im a newbie but I have never heard of that. Rat holes, from my limited experience, are tiny compared to ferrets, hence the need for smokers. I doubt you'll get much back on this mate. Regards Blainy Quote Link to post
gnipper 6,405 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 If you get the dvd he's out ratting they do a bit of ferreting on that. Most jills will fit down rat holes. Quote Link to post

francolin 449 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 as kids we ferreted rats at maggot farms,but the ferrets did get some bad bites,think some threw the towel in,but we all had plenty of ferrets at that time,found small jills were my best for the job. 1 Quote Link to post

omegathelast 160 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) We used to ferret rats to terriers a lot a few years ago. Many ferrets will bottle it after a few tough encounters but we had a few Jills and small hob or two over the years that loved it. The best were always the fast, hyper Jills - I had a little polecat that was mustard! Remember to make sure your terriers are steady to the ferrets. My terriers would slay rats for fun, work rabbits in cover all day and work fox below ground on permission pre-ban but would play with the ferrets in the garden Edited March 27, 2012 by omegathelast 1 Quote Link to post
