could be inexperienced ferrets if he is just starting out, keep getting out mate, your luck will change.

Some times if the ferrets are new to the game they only stay around the top of the set and don't go deep we're the rabbits can be but keep at it they will get the idea.

shouldnt be the problem to be honest as i bought the ferret off a bloke i know and hes worked him lots and always had results hes only sold him as he has health issues which stop him getting out and about, im going to keep trying the area and keep my eye out for a larger warren

thanks lads went out this morning and dont know what im doing wrong but drew a blank, netted all holes and know warrens are live as could see prints leading in and out of them in the snow aswell as fresh droppings and ferret went right through several times but no bolting rabbits tried for ages before switching to another warren but same again on every one only thing i can think of is rabbits were out in the fields. what do you lads think any advice would be appreciated!

get your self a pup and take it with you soon it will let you know if the bunnys are home and it will save you time netting emty warrens

will all dogs do this or just dogs bred for hunting as ive got 2 huskys but dont know if its worth taking them out?

when your ferrets get their first rabbit down those holes then they will switch on very quick, chances are they are not going all the way into burrows if its new to them and yes you will need a dog thats switched onto rabbits but could be any dog once he switched onto rabbits and wont kill your ferrets.

yeah they trick you mate rabbits dont be fooled by prints n stuff plus rabbits move about mate with the weather . they will use them micky mouse warrens at night like airgun sed , if there is woods near by with banks you can bet ya life thats where they will be. other than that like u sed you are new two ferreting , how good are your ferrets mate? cuz i had one or two in my time that are useless they will go in dont get me wrong, but only from hole two hole , they didnt go in the back ends where the rabbits will go mate. so take a look at that two and gl bud.

You should be waiting to september before ferreting all your gona get this time of year is a lot of digging up ferrets and more than likely a lot of dead young rabbits wait to september then you should go don't be killing your own sport.

I can see your unexperienced mate we all start somewhere. try watching some dvd's or try and get out with some experienced folk who you can learn from. Good luck cheers.
