delswal 3,819 Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Hi all do the muzzles work? this time of year and to stop them eating the kits? Do you rate them or are they sh**e If you know there is Kits to ground keep ya ferrets out that way ya won't need a muzzle, I am no expert on ferrets but why muzzle one? What if it comes across a dirty great rat underground how does it defend its self? Had ferrets years ago but never had the need to muzzle one unless I was missing something. Buy hey if you don't ask you don't learn Keep asking sooner or later you will get some sound advice on here. 1 Quote Link to post
Hopley89 31 Posted March 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 thank you, but i'm sure the insults are for different reasons still learning and thought a forum was a place to ask question on things i don't know! maybe i should of googled it and asked if it would be a stupid question to ask in a ferreting section on a hunting forum.. Took time to insult him tho, an nobody called you an expert, you been in game 30 secs longer than this lad, dont forget the questions you once asked Quote Link to post

stoggy 598 Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 i'm not frightens of getting bit i have got a 6 year old who wants to come with me and handle them but they nip him so was just a question Atb Hop Buy some chain mail gloves if your frightened of getting bit. If you have your own ferrets handle them as often as you can.They will soon get used to it and should stop nipping and then your little one will be able to handle them without the fear of getting a nip.

Do you rate them or are they sh**e Leave them to get on, and they should be ok with their kits, more so during the early days of the kits being born. No need for ferret muzzles, they are museum peices. 1 Quote Link to post

I will handle them every day I possibly can, they don't nip me! unless I have got a glove on that had rabbit blood all over it but they do want to nip my son and I think its scared him off, he loves shooting with me tho haha tbh I don't mind the insults but everyone starts from nothing and its better to ask a question that I will get a answer to than try and fail hard in the field!!

David.evans 5,323 Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Hop Nothing to do with ferritts , but let me say this I have asked some questions on hear that most lads wouldn't have dared WHY because of embarsment , making your self look like a mug , might be the case , but it's far better to ask if you don't know than to go a head blindly , some will take the piss , as said the experts that have done it got the medal and tee shirt And know it all , but there are lads just like me that do not now everything , and there for on a hunting fourm , you would think that even the drafted of questions would be answered with senctarty Atb mate 1 Quote Link to post
ferretfatcamp 21 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Muzzlesshould be confined to the musuem along with coping and teeth snapping.a ferretwith muzzle on will still trap a rabbit underground and then try to kill it by scratching at it .3 times this season we have bolted massive rats what chance would the ferret have if muzzled . Get a decent book on ferretting such as ferrets and ferretting by val porter Quote Link to post
