Chris the bass 7 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I'm after a small working hob to breed off and use at road sides we use small ferrets for road hedges so we don't need to dig any thing out that's all I want a extra small ferret for horses for courses as they say Quote Link to post
Raymond 618 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 When I was a kid, we all called albino ferrets greyhounds. Didnt mater what size big or small, once it was albino. 1 Quote Link to post
Rake aboot 4,935 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Tell me then cause I is interested. Why doesn`t a tiny ferret need digging to ?? What makes a tiny mouse sized ferret less likely to need dug to ? I don`t dig to my ferrets because of there size !. Quote Link to post
Chris the bass 7 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 A smaller ferret will fined it harder kill to ground. I just want the thing to bolt them. yes maybe. we do have to dig them out some times but not as much as a larger ferrets some people might disagree but we all work different 3 Quote Link to post
GreyRake 108 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I've two jills that are about the same size, average in my opinion. One is a brief quick warren check and if a rabbit sticks she struggles to move it, sometimes, but bails within twenty minutes. The other takes longer but does a thorough job and has a better chance of making the bunnies move. My hob is medium-large and pins a lot, often kills, he used when I'm up for digging. All have their place in my arsenal and I use them accordingly. My point is size doesn't matter too much when using the average jill, it's more about how they like to work, they all have different methods. If you want to miss the odd rabbit a miniature could work assuming it doesn't stick long. But you could be leaving a good few behind Quote Link to post

I just want the thing to bolt them. yes maybe. we do have to dig them out some times but not as much as a larger ferrets some people might disagree but we all work different Id have thought any ferret that doesn't stick for to long would do the job. As you say though we all work different. 1 Quote Link to post
Chris the bass 7 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I agree with you there one that don't stick for long will do the job but it's left a dead rabbit to ground so pointless to me these road bank are small humped banks full of granet and soil normally a granet wall with a soil bank on top so that's the reason we aren't allowed to dig them Quote Link to post
