mine chases them, rolls underneath and grabs there throat....the other one, pretends to strike high and when the rabbit lifts its head it ducks underneath and grabs the throat....or is that my dog? can't remember now, either way it's the stuff of legends!! ....

Yep her sister did the same , as does some of the others that are related,,, maybe it's just something the smaller types learn

[Brimmer 220]

I think its deffo something the jills do more than the hobs, whether its down to the size of the ferret in proportion to the rabbit i dont know, but even my smaller hobs always go in under the side of the neck.

Something that amazed me, was the 3 ferals that we caught in the drop boxes years ago, 2 jills and 1 hob had wiped out the catch in 3 seperate drop boxes, every one of them had chewed out the back of the neck like a stoat, whether this is something that they do when they can get all around the bunny i dont know, but i suspect, the ferals like stoats, take less punishment by hitting the back of the neck, rather than getting underneath, where the claws and kicks are.

Lets face it, a good working ferret takes some shit, and still comes back for more!
