LOOKS LIKE SOME GOOD LAND THERE AND ALOT OF RABBITS? LOOKS LIKE YORKSHIRE TO ME, THE GROUND AND SOIL TYPE, PLUS I DON'T THINK THEY ARE DEEP PLACES ALSO.HOW MANY FERRETS DO YOU TAKE ON A DAY FOR SUCH NUMBERS OF RABBITS TO BE CAUGHT ? ALOT OF THE EXPERIENCED GUYS WILL BE AWARE IT CAN BE DIFFICULT SOMETIMES TO OBTAIN GOOD LAND LIKE YOURS.THE LANDOWNERS MUST BE VERY PLEASED.

YOURS IN SPORT. DOCTOR DOLITTLE.

 

2 Ferts each normally..but recently I've been using 1 jill to slow the bolts down and give the dog chance to catch them and get back on the warren ready for the next 1.

THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY ABOUT THE FERRETS. FOR MYSELF I CAN TAKE ABOUT HALF A DOZEN GOOD RELIABLE FERRETS,OFCOURSE WHEN THERE IS A CONSIDERABLE POPULATION OF RABBITS ABOUT YOU WILL PERHAPS NEED MORE AS YOU WILL KNOW.FOR MY INTEREST DO YOU WORK HOBS AND JILLS WHEN YOU GO? SOME PEOPLE HAVE PREFERENCES FOR JILLS OVER HOBS AND VICE VERSA; BUT IN MY OPINION I DOESN'T REALLY MATTER. HOWEVER I HAVE SEEN CERTAIN PEOPLE TAKE HOBS WHICH ARE FAR TOO LARGE FOR SERIOUS WORK. I HAVE USED HUNDREDS OF JILLS FOR WORKING RATS BUT THAT IS ANOTHER STORY.......

 

GOOD LUCK. DOCTOR DOLITTLE...........

P.S. SORRY I HAVE USED SINGLE FERRETS AND TAKEN GOOD

NUMBERS ALSO.

Depends on the farm I'm doing this place we have done recently doesn't have warrens that are that big,, the largest was one of around 60 holes,, a few week back and we put 6 in ,, there was 3 of us and each had 2 .. But most of the warrens are under 30 holes ,, so two are plenty most of the time

 

One or two of the other farms have big warrens on banks stretching a hundred yards or more ,,, and again we will start one end with half a dozen or more ferrets,, and move along,,

 

As for sexes I use both ,,, but for the last year or two the best ferret in my court is a hob of a smallish to medium size ,,, he's mustard as was his mother and grandmother befor.
