Brimmer 220 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) 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! Edited December 5, 2012 by Brimmer 3 Quote Link to post
