Mature enough to start?

[George Kinloch 16]

Just a quick question. How can u tell if your ferret is mature enough to start ferreting? People say u can tell but what sort of behaviour do u look for?

Cheers.

Wait until they are at least 6 months old and you should be fine .........

As been said 6 month but don't expect it to be good, have a experienced ferret there to guide it along and do small warrens

I've always found it helps if the dog has marked and your young ferrets encounter a bunny every time they go out , small burrows preferably. Same as easy rabbits give pups a confidence boost.
