What Age?

[Brick top 6]

What age do you lads generally start working your ferrets I've never had any young ones before

[gav1212 16]

I start them in there first season. As long as they are accompanied by a working adult, they soon twig on!

Once you get to know your kits you should figure out when there lare and mature enough to have a wee go mate , hold them back rather than let them go to early and theres loads you can be doing with them before they even see a burrow

Either late in their first season or next season for me.

Once their nip trained.. I used my hobs when they were around 5 months on their own in small sets. They were more than able for it.

[pegstaff 9]

I always found that some are good enough at around 6 month (first season) however by about 18 month they have matured and work much better in there second season

Id agree with that pegstaff I have a hob that wouldn't work at all in his first season but the last 2 hes been one of the best ferrets Ive had.

[rabbit demon 302]

My 2 hobs are from the same litter and one is deadly, can work big warrens all day on his own every rabbit that comes out he's right up their arse, won't come out till their all out, best ferret iv had so far an iv had a few. His brother couldn't be any more different, absolutely useless worker last season, Just messed about at the holes and no drive, could be different this season though. They have just turned a year old, they get better with plenty of practice.
