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. :thumbs::bye:

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
