Ferret Carrying Bags ?

[poacherkev 64]

Just a quick question do any of you use a ferret bag ? If so how do you get on with them or don't you ?

I've always used a box but let's just say I know of a nice bit of ferreting ground that a bag with a ferret in will be more discreet than carrying a box around

I use to use one before I got a box for a few years. Can't fault em.

The Jill was planning on putting in the bag would never stay in my pocket and the last thing I would need is a ferret popping it's head out at the wrong time

bags are alrite until you trip up and fall on them squashing the ferret boxes for me

If you fall over, your gonna squash your ferret in a bag. Plus if the bag gets wet and you stuff it in your coat, theres a chance the ferret wont be able to breathe.

As been said, much safer for ferret if you slip and fall. But having said that, I used a bag for years without a problem when I first got into ferreting, and liked it a lot. Light, quiet and discreet. Came unstuck one day as I was driving home and suddenly noticed the 2 jills wandering around in the car. The little buggers had scratched away at a corner of the bag and made a little hole. Had absolutely nothing else to put them in so that made for a rather hairy drive home as on more than one occasion they managed to get under the pedals

Get a small box that fits into bottom of rucksack ,

 

And don't forget the spade .. That's harder to hide than a ferret .. Lol

As said a bags not much protection for a ferret if im doing anything we drop the spade and bag of nets off before hand and just wander over with a ferret in the jacket pocket if she a wriggle he just hold here in the pocket , its harder taking a spade and not getting any attention them we split up to come home . if your out with just a ferret , or bag of rabbits they might have a few questions but cant prove much unless they get us both together

I used to use money bags from the bank many many years ago but you always had to carry a spare as they would eventually scrape their way out. Then I started work in a furniture factory and I had one made up out of scrap leather it was like Joseph's coat but it did the trick and lasted for years. I must have used bags for over twenty years and never fell on them once.
