Ask someone (competant) local with ferrets if you can go out with him. Leave your terriers at home, watch how things work then decide if this is for you or not. Do some research about ferrets and then make your decision. Good Luck!

ferrets mate that the only efficent and effective way to go never heard of doing it any other way

said it on your other thread mate...try stinking them out....same principle as farting in a lift the occupants get out till the airs cleared, parafin soaked rags and other nasty smelling articles placed into the holes and the rabbits will temporarily move out and seek refuge above ground or in alternative holes.............but only temporarily and will dive back below ground when chased or will move to nearby warrens unless they are all done

 

find a knowledgeable ferreter nearby and listen and learn......if your dogs have already killed rabbits and rats and are adults you wont be able to trust them with ferrets as they will see them as prey as well......a pup brought up with ferrets though is a different prospect

I have bolted rabbits when using a smoker for rats,but i would not go out with the intention of rabbiting with a smoker

A ferret is the way forward mate

smoking rabbits have you tried to sending them a text message asking if they want to play out

only joking mate, like a few people have said go out with someone who uses ferrets & watch them at work just make sure its someone who has good experience.

See if you can get hold of a JCB or another large type of earth mover.. then just dig the full set/warren up..
