Ferreter2 1 Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Hi I have been looking for kits but nobody seems to have some close by so have been offered a mature jill and was wonderingly you can still train her to work before I take her? Quote Link to post
rabbit demon 302 Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Iv a rescue here that never saw a bit of raw meat before i got her. Dont know her background. Was nearly a week before she started eating meat. Would eat dog kibbles no bother. She done a bit of work last season and i will admit shes not my best worker but she does earn her keep. Dont think its too late to train her if shes off good working stock. Youll never know till you try her. Quote Link to post
rabbit demon 302 Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 She was definatly over a year old when i got her. Quote Link to post

leethedog 3,071 Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Just throw a hole rabbit in her cage split it open first when she is hungry she WILL eat it and like has been said pick the earths for her nice little ones you KNOW are holding this is where a marking dog can be very handy atb 2 Quote Link to post
Fly The Boy 339 Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 I'd leave her where she is, it is hard enough to get a great working ferret, be taking a big chance taking her, someone on here will put you onto someone thats breeding great worker to g worker ,if you get kits don't start them till there 6 or 7 months, this site will get you sorted with young ferrets, never buy any old ferrets.
