Benny684lovley 22 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 How old should I start to run my pup on the lamp. I don't want to do it too soon and run her into the ground. Would 7-8 months be sensible? Thanks Quote Link to post
terryd 8,525 Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Lamping tends to be all or nothing and what you think might be an easy run could end up in a marathon up and down the hedge. Mine had his first at 7 months and at the back of mind it didn't feel right and then he had an accident anyway so never got the chance to go again for a while anyway. Saw a picture yesterday on facebook of an xray showing the gap between the bones on the front leg of a couple of months pup and a 12 month old as a comparison and after seeing that you can see how you have to be careful. Next time round if there is one I wont start lamping till about a year and stick to pottering about with the ferrets. But I was happy when mine nailed his first and it sowed the seed of success for him same as malc here Edited October 23, 2015 by terryd 1 Quote Link to post
