victor 10 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 it isnt much training, just let their instinks go. i usualy start younge ferrets out in small burrows and work their way up to big ones. or i let them have a bite of a rabbit just to see if they will want to get them. i am verry sure you will ghave alkot better ansers than mine.

The one 8,458 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I usually put some pipes in the garden and let the kids play with the kitts during the summer and ive never had any bother with kitts lurking at the mouth of burrows , then i try them with a old ferret to ground in burrows for a bit and after i try them by themselves i check the burrow with a older ferret to see the youngsters not missed anything Quote Link to post

The one 8,458 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 About september if you mean if you mean hunting or when you thing there mature enough ,but for playing in pipes in the garden you can start now 10 minutes and build it up as they get used to it Quote Link to post
para1 11 Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 The only training involved is getting them used to you, everything else is as nature intended P1. Quote Link to post
