I had the same problem with a young jill last season, f****n about the hole. If you've got workers for this season then leave the young Jill til next season. Worked for me ;-)

im tmpted to just leave it like its just like lightning was popping up out of hole then another and another bolted 3 rabbits in a matter of minits all from different holes it just like I said its hard to get hold of when I turn it loose it comes back to me in the garden so thought it would be sound obviously not

It should settle down when it gets into some rabbits and let it rag a dead rabbit outside the burrow to give you time to pick up the nets

Did you run it through a few tubes, or did you just cob it in at the deep end? its still quite young

Same thing happened to me the other day, just put it down to first time. Only ever been in hutch and running around the yard, it was running around the hedge like a loony and leg it every time I went near. I had a coffee and sat down for a bit and she eventually came out, think she wore her self out, took about an hour little sh!t, lol.

Might help if the dead rabbits in a purse net pegged down then she cant drag it off and you can still check shes there while your picking up your nets

Some young ferrets crap them selves the first time they feel leaves, grass, soil under them for the first time, it un'nerves them, I had one just the same, you'd have thought it was walking on a hot plate But she's 5 now, and works like a demon, give it time

[andy97 209]

I just bear with it see how she gets on might just be full of beans with being a youngen but honestly ive never seen owt so fast it really is like lightning weras the hob just takes his time good worker mind and works t properly
